Willie Jo was the daughter of Cornelius Trammel Martin and Sarah Ada Littleton.
Willie Jo is a mysterious figure. There are many rumors about her and what might have happened to her when my father was a boy. She is said to have had some type of mental illness — either that, or her husband had her “put away” so he could divorce her and marry another woman. In any case, when my father was around 4 or 5, she was absent for a time, during which my father and his sister were in a foster home. After they came back home, their father (Houston) had a new wife, Nellie, and they didn’t see much of their mother after that.
