Notes

His next older brother Neal road all night from OK to try to stop him from marrying what he thought of as "an Indian squaw". However, the marriage took place. Neal seemed to be prone to think he should be responsible for his siblings in this way, as he did the same thing to stop Aunt Ida from re-uniting with her first husband.

The Social Security Death Index on ancestry.com shows a William Walker, b 19 Jan 1886, died April 1960. These are the right birth and death year for our William Luther Walker. It indicates that the social security number was issued in TX in 1956, and the number was 449-64-5169. There is a good chance that this is our Lute. It does not offer a last place of residence. [15]

«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.
