1st Wife: Sarah Chesney (married on 4 Apr 1890)
2nd Wife: Georgia Anna Houser (married on 23 Jul 1898)
3rd Wife: Mary Bell Pickel (married on 21 Mar 1914)
--------------------
Per the 1930 U.S. Census, Walker Oglesby was listed as "divorced" and living with Louis Sellers and Libby/Libbie (Oglesby) Sellars (Walker's daughter). It is believed that he was married to Sarah Chesney prior to his marriage with Georgia Houser. Evidence of this can be found in both a marriage record of April 4, 1890, in Knox County, TN, and on the 1910 U.S. Census, in which he is listed as being in his 2nd marriage. According to Mary Elizabeth Hancock (his grand daughter) he was very poor and living with a relative when he died. This can explain why he does not have a grave marker.
