He was a paternal great grand uncle of mine, and I know very little about him. If anyone has any pictures or information about him and his family, please contact me. I am especially grateful to Nan Hubbard-Kelly for posting the obituary from The Memphis Democrat as well as the information from the Death Certificate.

R.C. Walker Buried Here Wednesday

Mr. Robert Clarence Walker died Monday at Wichita Falls and was buried in Fairview cemetery Wednesday morning. The funeral was held at the First Baptist church Wednesday morning, conducted by the Rev. E.T. Miller.

Robert C. Walker was born August 8, 1874, and departed this life September the 27th 1926.

He was united in marriage to Miss Mertie Mae Ingram, June 26, 1907. Five children were born to this union, four boys and one girl.

He is survived by his companion, Mrs. R.C. Walker, and three children, Ingram, Nell and Jack Walker, all of Memphis, Texas.

He moved to Memphis over twenty years ago. He brought his bride to Memphis, nineteen years ago, and his family has resided here ever since. He was one of the leading men of this community, and did much towards the development of this section of the country. He was a successful business man. He was a devoted husband, a loving and tender father, and provided well for his family. His health failed him almost three years ago. Everything that money, loved ones, skilled physicians, and friends could do, was done, but the disease that had fastened itself upon him could not be stayed. He struggled against it, wanting to live and be with his loved ones and friends. He often repeated that life was sweet and that this was a beautiful world in which to live, but he had to go.

The deceased was of a large family of brothers and sisters, fifteen in all, and all of them lived to be grown. He is survived by six sisters and five brothers, Miss E. Thomasine Walker, of Dallas, Mrs. E.C. Moore, Dallas, Mrs. P.D. Phillips, Denton; Mrs. Dr. U.G.M. Walker, Flint, Texas; Mrs. J.M. Bullard, Bullard, Texas; Mrs. J.H. Montgomery, Waco; and P.S. Walker, Dallas; G.J.S. Walker, McKinney; Harry W. Walker, Bullard; Hal Walker, Bullard, and J.W. Walker of Plainview. Two sisters and three brothers, and E.C. Moore, a brother-in-law, were present at the funeral.
