Family/Spouse: [husband of Sylvia May Smith] Dolt. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Anecdote:

  William D. Walker (my father) remembered "Rounder" Smith--said he was in jail most Saturday nights for drinking.

• Parents:

  Rounder's death certificate named his father as "Alex Smith," did not name his mother and named his wife as "Meta Smith," which is enough to identify this as the correct Lon Smith.

• Residence: Abt 1956, Rural Route 1, Mountain View, Howell County, MIssouri, USA;

  Death certificate stated that though he died in a rest home in West Plains, this was his usual place of residence.

Notes:

Birth:

Harlow Cemetery marker offers birth year only, of 1890.

Name:

Email from his gr grandson names him as "Leonidas Smith."

Lonnie married Almeda Easter "Meta" Phipps about 1915.

  Obituary, Mountain View Standard

  "James T. Phipps Dies James T. Phipps, a pioneer resident of this community, died at his home north of Mountain View Saturday of last week at the age of 66 years, 10 months and one day. He was united in marriage to Martha Jane Walker November 15, 1892. To this union were born five daughters and three sons, four daughters preceding him in death. Surviving are Mrs. Mabel Osborne of Simmons, Mo., and Tim, Paul and Dick Phipps, all of Mountain View. Mr. Phipps was converted several years ago and lived a consecrated Christian life."

Notes:

Mysteriously, I believe they are listed in the 1930 census as William H. and Ephria PHIPPS. Living in Goldsberry Twp of Howell Co (as they should be), and respectively ages 70 and 60 (should be 69 and 60, which is close enough). William H.'s birthplace MO, father's KY, mother's TN (as it should be), and Ephria's bp TN, her parents both TN as well (as it should be).

James married Martha Jane "Matt" Walker on 15 Nov 1892 in Howell County, Missouri, USA. Martha (daughter of Helton Rutherford Walker and Esther Elizabeth Thornton) was born on 2 Jan 1870 in Pine Wood [Pinewood], Hickman County, Tennessee; died on 16 Mar 1947 in Mountain View, Howell County, Missouri, USA; was buried on 18 Mar 1947 in Walker Chapel Cemetery, Howell County, Missouri, USA.

Other Events:

• Parents:

  Matt's death certificate named her parents as "Helton Walker" and "Rebecka Thornton," both born in Tennessee. [Maiden name of mother, "Thornton" is correct, but first name "Rebecka" in error. Informant was her son, Tim Phipps.]

  Obituary, Martha Jane (Walker) Phipps, Mountain View Standard

  Mrs Martha Jane Walker was born January 2nd, 1870 in Hickman county[,] Tennessee. She came to Missouri at the age of three years and has made her home here ever since. She passed away Sunday, March 16, 1947, at 2:30 p.m. She was united in matrimony to James T. Phipps November 1892. To this union were born eight children, four of which have gone on before. Surviving her are three brothers and one sister; four children, Mrs. Mabel Osbone [Osborn], Tim and Dick Phipps of Howell county, Missour and Paul Phipps of Springfield, Mo; twenty-seven grand children and 15 great grand children. She gave her heart to the Lord at the age of 15 years and became affiliated with the Church of God in the year 1929. She was a true devoted Christian and a faithful worker for the Lord till old age and sickness made it necessary to resign from her former duties. She lived a life of faith in the Lord to the end. She also bore her sickness very pleasantly, and has just went before to meet her Lord.

  Her Desire

  Under the wide and starry sky, Dig a grave and let me lie. Gladly did I live and gladly die, And glad I lay down with a will This is the verse you gave for me Here she lies where she longed to be, Waiting for the coming of the Lord, To live with him eternally.

  Her funeral was held at Walker Chapel March 18, 1947 at 2 p.m. by Rev. Jesse L. Ruefenacht, interment in the Walker Chapel cemetery under direction of Duncan Funeral Home Singers Mrs. Pauline Ruefenacht and two daughters, Ella Mae and Emma Jean.

Possible Census:

[R. Walker seems to be a good candidate to be Helton Rutherford Walker, who was often called "Rutherford." In support of this possibility:

• Birthplace of Tennessee, is correct
  
• On the following page is George H. Walker, HR's uncle, just a year or so older than HR's father Elijah. It is likely that "R. Walker" and "Geo H. Walker" were quite close in proximity.
  
• Also on the page following "R. Walker" is "Jno M. Walker," a likely candidate to be HR's oldest brother "J. M. Walker." While the eldest brother is often named as "James Monroe Walker," the Bible data refers to him only as "J. M. Walker." Additionally, when this John M. Walker of Marshall County, Mississippi, is followed in census to his subsequent home in White County, Arkansas, his burial at Center Hill Baptist Cemetery, states his birth date as 18 September 1824--the exact date given for the birth of Elijah's eldest son "J. M. Walker."
  
• HR was not married in 1850 and may have been trying out the possibility of moving to Marshall County, near his family.
  
• HR is not found in his parents' household in Tennessee in this census, nor elsewhere in Humphreys or Dickson County
  
• HR was enumerated in the next (1860) census as "R. Walker."
  
• HR was commonly known later in life as "Rutherford Walker," lending further strength to the references to him as "R. Walker."
  
• In conflict with the above, "R. Rutherford" is enumerated as age 20, calculating to a birth year of 1830. However, in terms of census age errors, that is minimal, particularly considering that William Pace may have guessed at his age for the enumerator.

[Living next door to Esther's mother, Bedie (Clark) Thornton. "Ann T." listed in census was doubtless a misinterpretation.

Obituary:

The Reverend H. R. Walker was born October 21, 1828; professed faith in Christ and joined the M. E. Church South in 1853. He was married to Elizabeth Thornton on January 26, 1854, and died at his home near Trask, Aug 29 1901 after an illness of ten months during which time his suffering was constant.
He was perfectly resigned to God's will. For forty years he had stood as a watch-man on the walls of Zion and in his last illness he said he had reviewed his ministerial life over and not one word would he change if he had it to preach over. He was faithful in all his official relations. The writer has known him as trustee, steward, and preacher. He was S. S. Supt. for many years. He performed the duties of each office with conscientious care.
In his family relations as a husband he was true and affectionate; as a father he was provident and kind. His pure Christian life, his noble character, his high sense of honor and his Godly council is a heritage greater and richer to his children than any amount of gold. The writer can remember forty years acquaintance with him and never knew him to step aside or do a willful wrong. The writer has known him when so afflicted with rheumatism that he could not stand alone, sit and preach lengthy sermons.
He was laid to rest in Chapple graveyard amidst weeping wife and children and sympathising friends, but his sainted spirit had taken its flight, swept through the gates of the New Jerusalem [illegible] triumphant. He leaves a faithful, loving wife, ten devoted children and a host of grand-children and friends to mourn his loss. But we mourn not as those who have no hope.

We shall sleep but not forever
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never
On the Resurrection morn.
- His Daughter
