Thirty years ago last December Mr. and Mrs. Walker and young children moved to Alexandria. This has been their home since
Mrs. Walker was a home woman and cared little for outside companionship or society. A few friends and her home were sufficient. For years she had been subject to attacks of serious illness and since last November had been confined to the house the greater part of the time to her bed. The end came Saturday evening shortly after six o'clock.
The deceased leaves, besides her husband, eight children, three sons and five daughters. The children all reside in Alexandria. They are Daniel G., James and Harvey, the latter a salesman in his fathers store. The daughters are: Mrs. Mary Simpson, Sarah, Minnie, Maggie and Clara. They are all at home.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon. A short service was held at the home and later services were held in the Episcopal church. The rector, the Rev. G. W. Barnes, officiated. The pallbearers were from the Odd Fellows Lodge, of which Mrs. Walker was a charter member. The lodge was represented at the funeral by a large delegation. The bearers were Messrs. G. B. Ward, G. G. S. Campbell, Frank Kent, L. S. Kaiser, C. F. Canfield and John Abercrombie. The interment was at Kinkead cemetery.
