}}{{distinguish|William H. Poole}}William Henry Poole (February 19, 1876 – June 12, 1921) was a college football player while a divinity student, and later a minister.[1][2]

Early years

He was born on February 19, 1876 in Tallahassee, Florida to Augusta Jane Anderson and William Gaither Poole.[1] His family later moved to Glyndon, Maryland.

Sewanee

Poole was a prominent center for the Sewanee Tigers of The University of the South, a small Episcopal school in the mountains of Tennessee. At Sewanee he studied theology.[2]

In 1899 he was a member of the "Iron Men" of 1899 who went undefeated, winning five road games in six days all by shutout. One source reported Poole "drank heavily" on the one day off.[3]

In 1900 Poole was selected All-Southern.[4]

Minister

He became assistant at Christ Church, Cincinnati, in 1906,[5] and while there he married Shirley Nelson Morgan.[8] They had a son, Morgan.

He became the rector of St. Paul's Church in 1910 in Jackson, Michigan.[6] One source called him "one of the leading orators of southern Michigan."[7] In Jackson, he was a member of the Rotary Club.

During World War I he served as the Young Men's Christian Association chaplain in France.

Nervous breakdown and death

He had a nervous breakdown and was taken to a sanitarium in Graham, Virginia in 1920.[8] He took his own life with a gun, in a bout of depression on June 12, 1921.[9] His death certificate lists the cause of death as "suicide, shot through base of skull" caused by "partial insanity, melancholia". He was buried in Mount Evergreen Cemetery in Jackson, Michigan.
