Arthur Miles Walker, formerly of Nebraska township, Page county, and who came to Clarinda to live about two years ago, died suddenly Tuesday evening, April 11, 1916, at about 6 o'clock. He and a friend, William Annan, also of this city, had been fishing at Annan's lake in Nodaway township, about two and one-half miles northeast of Clarinda, and had started to walk home. They had passed the house of George G. Annan on the way, and had reached the turn of the road south, west of the house, when Mr. Walker appeared in his usual health and good spirits. He was talking about a herd of cattle he saw in the pasture of George G. Annan, when he suddenly threw up his hands and fell to the ground. William Annan moved him to as comfortable a position as he could in the road, placed a coat under his head for a pillow, and went to the house of his brother George, from which he telephoned for Dr. J. W. Sellards to come at once. William then hastened back to where Mr. Walker was, and found him dead. Dr. Sellards arrived promptly but not until death had taken place. C. H. Oates,. undertaken in town, was called, and the body cared for, it being brought to Clarinda. The death was from heart trouble. William Annan received a great shock from the death—ah instant change from pleasant companionship to the loss of a valued friend. The late Mr. Walker was born Jan. 27, 1856, in Henry county, la., moved to Taylor county in 1878; from there to Buchanan township, Page county, in 1882; from there to Nebraska township to the farm he owned at the time of his death, in 1888. He was a lifelong farmer and a successful one. He married, Nov. 11, 1876, Miss Nanna Harland. Four daughters and two sons were born to them: Mrs. George Roberts, Gravity; Mrs. Maude McDowell (now deceased) Nebraska township; Miss Blanche Walker, assistant to county superintendent of schools, Clarinda; Clyde Walker, on home place in Nebraska township; Glenn Walker who died in infancy. Two brothers survive A. M. Walker: Fred Walker of Omaha and Charles Walker of Oskaloosa. The late Mr. Walker was a most excellent man with a host of friends. His funeral will be held from the home in this city Friday afternoon, April 14, conducted by Rev David S. Curry of the Presbyterian church and Rev. Abram S. Woodard of the Methodist Episcopal church. Burial will be in the Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 13, 1916
Dies From Heart Failure.
Milo Walker Called Suddenly by the Grim Reaper, While Returning Home From Day's Fishing.
Milo Walker, retired farmer died suddenly of heart failure while walking home after a day pleasantly spent fishing. On last Tuesday morning Mr. Walker and Mr. William Annan drove out to the Annan's lake located about three miles northeast of Clarinda, in Mr. Annan's car; on starting home Mr. Annan noticed that his car was not working right, and decided to leave it at the Dale Annan home, which is not far from the lake, and walk into town. They had just turned the corner leading south from the George Annan farm, and were walking along slowly, when of a sudden Mr. Walker put his hand to his chest and spoke of a pain which had been bothering him for some time but said he had gotten used to it. He had leaned forward when the pain struck him, and as he straightened up he threw his hands above his head and fell forward on his face. He died almost instantly. He was brought into town and taken to the Oates undertaking parlors. It was decided that an inquest was unnecessary by the coronor.
His sudden death was a severe shock to the family, and to his many friends, who supposed him to be in the best of health. Mr. Walker has been a farmer in this county for a number of years. Recently he retired from active farm work and moved into town, where he bought a home and had just finished remodeling it.
