Walter Augustus Bloxton, the second son of Charles Benjamin & Clementine Virginia Bloxton of Spout Springs, Appomatox County, VA.
In March 1892, I think he was in the grocery business with a Mr. Nash:
"On the road through life, a SOUND, HEALTHY CONSTITUTION. Further prevention can be assured by purchasing fresh and reliable
GROCERIES from
NASH & BLOXTON,
302 Commerce St., S.W., Roanoke, VA."
[The Roanoke Times, Vol 10, No 164, 27 March 1892]
and he went by his middle name at that time:
"W. Augustus Bloxton returned yesterday from a visit to relatives at Appomattox."
[The Roanoke Times, Vol 10, No 296, 28 August 1892]
June 11, 1900 CENSUS, Roanoke City, Roanoke, VA - 508 Roanoke St., (ALL) VA X 3

BLOXTON, Anna (AMO ETHELYN BLOXTON), born Dec 1895 (4) (Mrs. John Richard Ellis, m. on Saturday, April 4, 1931, in Asheville, NC)
BLOXTON, Leonard, born Oct 1897 (2)(Roanoke Valley Christian High School, Class of 1917 - Leonard and Pauline Bloxton were Freshmen when Amo was a Senior in 1914 - listed in yearbook. In 1919 yearbook, the girls' 1918-1919 Basketball Team had "VIRGINIA CLEMENTINE BLOXTON", b. 1899/1900 as a substitute. "Virginia came to us last Fall from Virginia Intermont" (which had become a junior college in 1910. The name "Intermont" was a reference to the College's mountain setting. The Holston Range, which merges into the Blue Ridge Mountains, can be seen from the campus in Bristol, Virginia, part of the Tri-Cities region, which also includes Johnson City and Kingsport, Tennessee), so no photo of Virginia, and her name & bio were posted after the "W" Senior photos with a drawing of a girl in a cap and gown. (She was probably named after Clementine Virginia Bloxton, Walter Bloxton's mother, and is most probably Leonard's younger sister.)
