History of Daviess County, Kentucky, Inter-State Publishing Co., Chicago, 1883. Reprinted by McDowell Publications, Utica, KY, 1980. p. 619. WILLIAM JAMES HUSK, son of George Husk, of Knottsville Precinct, was born in this precinct Dec. 23, 1839, and still lives on a part of the old homestead. He was reared a farmer and now owns 109 acres of good land. He was educated in the subscription schools of this precinct. April 21, 1863, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Moses Reynolds. Five children have been born to them, three only now living--Marion, James B. and Fannie C. The other two, William A. and Florence, aged eight and six years respectively, were burned to death by the explosion of a kerosene can with which they were playing, pouring the oil over the fire.
