Bedy Etta Walker

Bedy Etta Walker

Female 1866 - 1941  (74 years)

Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Bedy Etta Walker  [1, 2] 
    • Bedie's death certificate and her obituary both name her as "Beatty" Etta. These are the only instances that I have seen of this spelling. Also seen as "Beda" and "Bedy."

      Though named for her maternal grandmother, I have never seen her referenced with the full name "Obedience," and she was probably just named the shorter "Bedie."
