On the last day of August, 1916, Edward Elijah Walls' nine year old grandson, Eldon Lee, child of Lily and Brackson Walls had been hunting with his big brother. It had been an exciting day, and the young hunters could not suppress their energy when they entered the house. Throwing themselves and the gun on the bed, they gave no thought to their reckless behavior. Suddenly the joy of the day's hunt turned to horror as the gun discharged, mortally wounding Eldon. He was buried in the growing Walls Family Cemetery on his grandfather's farm near Leslie.
