    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. Son Thomas Newell was the right age for this position in the family, all of the other children are correctly named. It is possible that the initials "T. N." were reversed to "N. T." which sounds very like "Ann T."]

    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.
