WILLIAM W. POOLE was born November 9, 1822, in Nelson County, Ky., to John
and Jane (Hueston) Poole, natives of Ireland and Pennsylvania.  In 1826,
they came to Henderson (now Webster) County Ky., and purchased several
hundred acres of land in the locality of what is now known as Poole's
Mills.  The father, who was a millwright, was born in 1776 and died in
1862, aged eighty-six; the mother was born in 1784 and died in 1878, aged
ninety-four.  Our subject was reared on his father's farm, and, in 1855,
engaged in merchandising at Poole's Mill; this he continued until 1873,
since which time he has been engaged in farming.  He was appointed
postmaster in 1855, and this office he has since held.  He owns 200 acres,
which include part of the present site of Poole's Mill, and which was part
of the farm formerly owned by his father.  Mr. Poole was married, in 1860,
to Miss Ann E. Stephens of Henderson County.  This union is blessed with
seven children - three sons and four daughters.  Their eldest son, John V.,
is now attending college at Valparaiso, Ind., with a view of perfecting
himself in the study of languages, although he makes mathetmatics his
favorite study.
