Asilee faced down the Klan on her front porch, because Dock Griffitts sent them to create trouble. She didn't back down and told them where to find him. They went to where she said that he would be, and horsewhipped him for the lies he told them
She is one of the few women in the 1920s in Knoxville TN who filed for divorce and got custody of her kids.

I believe you have the wrong parents for Asilee. Her death certificate lists Andy Wilson and Martha Cook. The informant was Albert Mantooth of Cartersville Georgia (probably her son by first husband). She died 25 Oct 1958 in Knoxville Tennessee. The certificate is here: "Tennessee Deaths, 1914-1966," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKM9-BHQY : 26 August 2019), Margaret Richards, 25 Oct 1958; Death, Knoxville, Knox, Tennessee, United States, Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville.
