Walter Blackstone was buried next to his last wife Beulah; he was known to have been married at least once before, maybe twice. He had one daughter with the last wife and a couple of daughters (Georgia and Mary) and a son named "Jr" by a earlier marriage to a Miss Minnie Smith of SC. They married approx. 1919. They lived with Minnie's parents (Tom and Ella Smith) in 1920. The Augusta, Georgia City Directory 1925 has Walter and wife Minnie together and he is a fireman. According to the census, Minnie and Walter were divorced by 1930, and she was still living with her parents. It was at this point that spelling of surname was changed by that family to "Blackton". Documents show that Minnie remarried by 1940 to Boyd Burton Ashley and then died in 1962 in California.
He was employed by the railroad most of his life. Since St Augustine was the headquarters for several railroads, that was the reason him came there. A business man, he owned several rental properties in downtown St Augustine and on Beaver Street and Myrtle Ave in Jacksonville. By 1940, he was living on Masters Dr with wife Beulah in St Augustine.
He was the son of Jefferson Davis and Ella Josephine Newman Blackstone of Augusta, GA.
This family claims to be part Native American and are "Blackstone" on the rolls.
