Louise Walker, the daughter of Billington Sanders Walker and Alice (Mitchell) Walker, was born in Monroe, Georgia, December 4, 1895. She was graduated from Lucy Cobb Institute at Athens, Georgia in 1914, and attended Castle-On-the Hudson in New York in 1915.

Her marriage to Robert Ligon McWhorter was a social event in Monroe on October 12, 1921. One son, Robert Ligon McWhorter, Jr. was born to them on October 16, 1923.

She died September 30, 1942.

We quote from the pen of Dan McGill who paid tribute to her at the time of her death in the Athens Banner Herald:

"She was a rare person. It can truthfully be said that having lived she discovered for herself, and in great measure imparted to others, the why of human life. Many must ask the question at one time or another why God ever made a human being. Those who knew Louise McWhorter know the answer. She possessed the beauty, and charm and feminity of woman as she is envisioned by The Creator of the world. She had the heart, and courage of a General. There is no futility in living if you can live like Louise McWhorter. She had in the years of her wifehood, and motherhood, as a citizen of a community, justified completely her creation."
