MISS WRILLA WALKER
NOVEMBER 12, 1942
The body of Miss Wrilla Walker was brought to the home of her mother in Chatsworth last Thursday from a Bloomington hospital where she died at 3:30 that morning.
Funeral services were held from the Evangelical church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J.V. Bischoff, pastor of the church, assisted by the Rev. L.R. Tagg, pastor of the Fairbury Methodist church. Burial was in the Chatsworth cemetery where her father is buried.
Miss Walker was born in Chatsworth August 10, 1881. Her parents were William and Viola Merscher Walker. After receiving her education in the Chatsworth schools she was employed for several years as a clerk in the Albert Walter dry goods store. In 1911 she went to Fairbury and for 31 years was employed in the Walton department store.
Friday's Fairbury Blade, reporting her death says:
Miss Walker had not been in the best of health the past few years, but had remained as clerk in the dry goods department of the Walton store until two weeks ago when she went to the home of a niece, Mrs. Fred Aellig, at Strawn. Her condition grew worse and on Wednesday she was taken to the hospital at Bloomington.
Dependable, accommodating and pleasant and with a thorough knowledge of the stocks in her department, Miss Walker held the esteem and confidence of all with whom she had come in contact during her many years connection with the Walton store.
Surviving Miss Walker are her mother, Mrs. Viola Walker, of Chatsworth, and two brothers, Pearl, of Chicago, and Lewis, of Strawn.
She was a member of the Methodist church, a past oracle of the local order of the Royal Neighbors of America and a member of Charity Home Rebekah lodge.
Casket bearers were three of her co-workers in the Fairbury store, Roscoe Coombs, H.L. Schmitt and Marshall Gordon, and three Chatsworth men, Henry Williams, P.A. Koerner,Jr., and James Mauritzen.
