Description
An account of the resource
Jess Willard was born December 29, 1881, at St. Clere. He was a horse-trader and livery stable operator at Delia and Emmett before becoming a heavyweight boxer. Many of Rossville, Kansas, area people followed the career of Jess Willard. A group of local enthusiasts went to Havana, Cuba, in 1915 to watch his fight with Jack Johnson. Willard knocked him out in the 26th round to win the championship on April 5 when the temperature was 115. Pictured standing behind Jess Willard are his first two trainers on the left, Bob Willard (Jess's brother), and Fred Stalker (Jess's and Bob's step-brother) on the right. Jess died December 15, 1968, and is buried in Los Angeles, California.
