Mrs. Walker came with her family to this county 29 years ago, and settled in the northern part of the county. She received her education in the county schools and at Shamrock.
In 1912 she was married to Mr. Walker, who like herself was a member of one of the county's early families. They had made this their home throughout their married life.
Aside from rearing her family, Mrs. Walker also found time to devote to many community enterprises. She had been an active member of the Methodist Church for 36 years, and an outstanding worker for the Red Cross.
Mrs. Walker was of a happy and friendly nature, and her circle of friends had extended to those of all walks of life.
