Walter served in the Merchant Marines during World War I. He was also the grandson of a Civil War soldier, Richard Young, and the great, great, great grandson of Revolutionary War soldier, Isaac Prouty.
Walter married Jeannia Derosiers on Apr 19, 1920. They had two children: Claire and Norman. Walter worked at Athletic Shoe Co, in East Brookfield for many years. He also served as a constable in East Brookfield in the mid 1930s. One of the perks of the job was driving slowly down Route 9 in an old jalopy, until some hot shot passed him by. Then he would hit the horn and take off like a bat out of hell, so he could arrest the guy.
Walter and Jeannia move to Worcester in the late 1930s. Walter died on his sister-in-law Lillian's birthday and just a few months before his first two great-grandsons were born. He was buried on Good Friday. At the time of his death he had 10 grandchildren and a great-granddaughter named Rachel.
