Daughter of Eli H. DeArmond & Sarah S. Talbot.

Wife of David Cullen Blackmon.

Mother of 8 children.

Sadly, family lore states that Willa went crazy in her later years. Willa was living with her daughter Lillie Jane Ellen Blackmon Hodnett & her family at the time. Once, she managed to escape a locked room meant to keep her from running off from the house. The windows in the room were nailed shut, and so to escape, she pulled the nails out with her finger nails. She was quite crafty in her old age!
