26 Jan 1917 The Higbee News
Volume 30, No 43, Friday, 26 Jan 1917--ISAAC WALKER--Isaac Walker, one of the best men Howard county ever knew, died at the home of his niece, Mrs. Geo. Page, in this place at 2 a.m. Sunday, January 21, 1917, from pneumonia. He had been sick for several days and on receiving word that his sister, Mrs. Eliza Rennolds, was at the point of death, left his home near Burton to be with her, but got no further than Mrs. Page's, pneumonia having developed.
Mr. Walker was born in Howard county Oct. 17, 1844, and spent his life
within five miles of the farm on which he was born. He was never married, devoting his life to sisters, nephews and nieces bereft of husband and father. Mrs. Page, whom he took to raise when she was an infant, her mother dying when she was four weeks old, seemed to be his favorite, and in a conversation with her one day told her that when the call came for him he wanted to come to her or have her come to him. While he had never joined any church, he lived the Christian life and was not afraid when the summons came, and we are sure that a loving Father will not let his life of self sacrifice go unrewarded.
