Della Eveline Walker b. 4 Dec 1878 Howell County, Missouri, USA d. 18 Feb 1970 Auburn, Placer County, California, USA: Our Family History

1878 - 1970 (91 years)

Name	Della Eveline Walker [1, 2, 3, 4]
Anecdote	Abt 1864	Giles County, Tennessee, USA [5]
	Another of the stories that came to us from Della is the story of the Union soldier and the syrup pail. In her words, again (written to her daughter, Fartha Lonnem): "That syrup pail row you spoke of was between Grandma Crowder and a Union soldier. She had seen them take every vessel they could find to carry out maple syrup in, even the soap pail. But when they started with the last water pail she held on and in the struggle grabbed syrup and rubbed in his face and eyes then upset the pail pouring part of it on him, and was crying on the step as he went away with the pail. Then a Union soldier she had made a chicken soup dinner for when he came to her near sick and asked for it, came and asked what's the matter and she told him 'that man is carrying away the last pail I have to carry water from the spring'; and right away he called to the guy 'Bring that pail back to her or (drawing his 45) I'll shoot your damned brains out,' and he turned and brought it back. The Union army was camped 1/2 mile from the place and had run out of provisions and they took 40 head of fattening hogs and sheep and geese and cattle and long years after Grandpa was gone (I was 10 yr or so) Grand Ma got $500 in gold collected from the Govt by a lawyer A.W. Wills for collecting it. Grand Pa would have used some to keep well if he'd been paid earlier...."
Born	4 Dec 1878	Howell County, Missouri, USA [6, 7]
	Della's cemetery marker at Walker Chapel states her year of birth as 1877, but it was actually 1878. The day and month are correct.

Naturalization	23 Nov 1944	U.S. District Court, San Francisco, San Francisco County, USA [20]
	Having lost her citizenship when she married John Lonnem (see research on citizenship laws), Della faced a struggle to regain it. Her citizenship was finally issued on this date. Her daughter Fatha, born in Canada to a Norwegian naturalized to Canada, obtained her naturalization when she turned 21, in 1946.
RESEARCH	paragraph 10 After 1907, marriage determined a woman's nationality status completely. Under the act of March 2, 1907, all women acquired their husband's nationality upon any marriage occurring after that date. This changed nothing for immigrant women, but U.S.-born citizen women could now lose their citizenship by any marriage to any alien. Most of these women subsequently regained their U.S. citizenship when their husbands naturalized. paragraph 14 Happily, Congress was at work and on September 22, 1922, passed the Married Women's Act, also known as the Cable Act. This 1922 law finally gave each woman a nationality of her own. No marriage since that date has granted U.S. citizenship to any alien woman nor taken it from any U.S.-born women who married an alien eligible to naturalization.(11) Under the new law women became eligible to naturalize on (almost) the same terms as men. The only difference concerned those women whose husbands had already naturalized. If her husband was a citizen, the wife did not need to file a declaration of intention. She could initiate naturalization proceedings with a petition alone (one-paper naturalization). A woman whose husband remained an alien had to start at the beginning, with a declaration of intention. It is important to note that women who lost citizenship by marriage and regained it under Cable Act naturalization provisions could file in any naturalization court--regardless of her residence. [21]

	Aunt Della was cremated in California, and had her ashes sent home to her brother Earl, so that he could scatter them on her old home place. [Testimony of Irene Walker Hansen]

	Della was cremated at Sierra View Memorial Park in Auburn, Placer County, California. She has a stone at Walker Chapel Cemetery near Mountain View, Howell County, Missouri, where many of her family members are buried.

Notes

Lived in Ca and taught school. Around LA. Had children. Daddy says one of her sons may have been "Billy Warren" - who set a fire in Phoenix and ran away not to get caught. Her kids were wild. She made not a great marriage, was probably a card-carrying Communist, and on one trip home, was devoted to turning Daddy into a socialist. Grandpa's attitude: loving, but she's just aunt Della.

Email from the Placer Co CA public library, librarian Delana Ruud, Auburn Library Reference desk. Email dated 9 Nov 2006. She searched the Auburn Journal for 5 weeks after Aunt Della's date of death, and found no obituary. [23]

When Della married her second husband (John Lonnem, a Norwegian who had been naturalized to Canada), she became a British citizen; after her divorce from Lonnem, she moved back to California and had to once more become a citizen of the United States.).
During her marriage to the Lonnem, who was Canadian, Della somehow lost her U.S. Citizenship, and had to apply to regain it, prior to getting some "pension." Her granddaughter says that she never forgave the U. S. Government for making her re-apply for her own birthright of US Citizenship.

«b»Mrs. T.N. Walker«/b»
Phoebe Tennessee Crowder was born in Giles county, Tenn., January 11, 1858; died at her home near Mountain View, Mo., April 7, 1913, age 55 years, 2 months and 27 days.
She was married to T.N. Walker December 30, 1877. To this union were born eleven children - seven boys and four girls. Three boys and one girl died in infancy. She leaves a husband and four boys and three girls to mourn their loss.
She professed faith in Christ in the year 1878 at Walker Chapel church in Howell county, Mo., in services conducted by Rev. J. B. Rice and H.R. Walker; sanctified in the year 1901 at West Plains, Mo., in services conducted by Rev. J.M. Robinson, presiding elder of the South Missouri and Arkansas conference of the Free Methodist church.
Her children were all at her bedside except one daughter, Mrs. Della E. Warren of Oxnard, Cal.
She was a great sufferer from tuberculosis but endured with great patience, ever mindful of others through all of her sufferings as she was in health. Shel like Paul of old, has fought a good fight, kept the faith and has gone to the reward of the faithful.
Regardless of the rainfall she was followed by a large concourse of friends to Walker Chapel, where after a short service conducted by Bro. A.J. Koonce, the body was laid to rest to await the resurrection morn.
