      «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.

      The 1910 census indicates that Ida and Ewell had been married for 4 years. Since they were both from Howell County, Missouri, it is reasonable to assume that they were married there. However, Missouri marriages are now at Ancestry.com through 2002, and their marriage does not appear in the database, making it seem more possible that they were married in Oklahoma, perhaps. [However, my own marriage in Missouri in 1973 also doesn't appear, although the marriage of my cousin, in the same month, does appear. Possibly not all counties are fully databased yet.
