Elisabeth "Bessie" Ellicott Poe (July 27, 1886-September 29, 1947) and Vylla Ellicott Poe Wilson (February 27, 1883-October 2, 1969) were journalists in Washington, DC. They sometimes collaborated on a woman's column under the name the Poe Sisters. During World War I, the Poe sisters were organizers of the Women's Section of the Navy League and its training camp for women in Chevy Chase, Maryland. In 1933, Evalyn Walsh McLean, wife of Washington Post owner Edward Beale McLean, enlisted the sisters to briefly pawn the Hope Diamond on her behalf when she needed cash.
