  Obituary of Eliza A. (Walker) Paul, Blue Rapids Times, Blue Rapids

  Eliza Adaline WALKER was born January 26, 1836 at Rock Island, Ill., and entered into life everlasting on Sept. 4, 1928, at Blue Rapids, Kansas, aged 92 years, 7 months and 9 days. She was the daughter by a second marriage of the Rev. Samuel A. WALKER. Her mother was Nancy Thompson WALKER. The Rev. Samuel WALKER was a pioneer Methodist minister born in 1785. The two generations, Mrs. PAUL and her father, reaching back to the signing of the Constitution of the United States. Mrs. PAUL's early life was spent at Rock Island, where she was married to Wm. PAUL in 1853. In 1859 they came west to carve out a new home in what was then the territory of Kansas, with the thought of helping to settle it with sympathizers for the Union. After the firing on Ft. Sumpter, Wm. PAUL answered his country's call for volunteers and left his little family in the care of their mother and joined the 13th Kansas Volunteer Infantry, staying in the army until he was honorably discharged at the close of the civil war. There was a very good school at this time at Irving called the Wetmore Institute, and after the close of the war, Wm. PAUL took advantage of the homestead law and homesteaded 80 acres of land two miles north of Irving in the Blue River valley, where their children had the advantage of a very good school. Later they added to the 80 acres by purchase. The old home remained in Mrs. PAUL's hands until her death, helping to make her last days comfortable and peaceful. Mrs. PAUL was the proud mother of five children: Mrs. Martha RIPPEY of Sheridan, Ark.; S.F. PAUL of Blue Rapids, deceased two years ago; Mrs. J.N. WANAMAKER of Blue Rapids; Mrs. Clara WILLIAMSON of Portland, Ore.; and W.F. PAUL of Huntsville, Texas; 24 grandchildren and two great grandchildren, making 76 descendants. Every year on her birthday and on Christmas she heard from the members of this large family, knew where they all were and what they were doing, claiming all of them as her own. Wm. PAUL was called to his reward in 1889 and for nearly forty years she traveled the journey of life alone. Thinking and planning for the welfare of her family and doing for others filled her later years and helped to make her sunset years peaceful and happy. She spent the last 31 years of her life in the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.N. WANAMAKER. If long life and length of days are given to the faithful, then indeed she was recompensed. Her children rise up and call her blessed.
