This Death Certificate is a bit confusing, however, reading it and connecting dates and dots, it's MR Adolphus Fletcher Walker (Male), not his wife. His parents are listed to connect him properly.
His wife is listed as Mary M Walker, but she is found in Census records and Marriage Certificate of her son (John Willie Walker), as Mary Jane Walker but found on HER marriage record to Adophus as Mary Pettigrew.
Adolphus Walker married Mary Pettigrew (b. abt 1852) 10 Jan 1878 in Caswell County, North Carolina. They married 10 Jan 1878 in Caswell County, North Carolina. I am still trying to determine if Pettigrew was Mary's maiden name or if she was previously married to a Pettigrew. In the 1880 Census, Adolphus is HOH, Mary J Walker, Wife and children are John Wm Walker and Annie E Pettigrew as his Step-daughter. In the 1900 Census, Adolphus Walker is HOH, wife is Mary J Walker and his mother-in-law is his widowed Mother-in-Law, Phoeba Walker (believed to be Phoeba Boswell who was married to William A Walker). I'm still researching this connection. Annie is found in the same cemetery with Charlie Fletcher Walker and she is the wife of David Walker.
