• Name	Phoebe Tennessee "Tennie" Crowder  [1, 2]
  Born	11 Jan 1858	Giles County, Tennessee, USA   [1, 3, 4]
  Gender	Female
  Died	7 Apr 1913	Goldsberry township, Howell County, Missouri, USA   [1, 4]
  Buried	9 Apr 1913	Walker Chapel Cemetery, Howell County, Missouri, USA   [4, 5]
  	Tom Walker and his wife Phoebe Crowder have a headstone at Walker Chapel, where both of their parents are buried. However, Phoebe's death certificate indicates her intended burial at Center Hill. Her husband was the informant, and the family had history at both churches, so possibly he misspoke, or he later changed his mind. Her obituary clearly states that "regardless of the rainfall, she was followed by a large coucourse 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."
  Obituary	18 Apr 1913	Mountain View, Howell County, Missouri, USA   [6]

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.

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. She 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. A Friend
