Ex-Senator Walker Died Saturday At Roberta

The news which reached here Saturday afternoon announcing the death of Hon. 
W.J. Walker, gave much grief to his friends of that gentleman throughout Taylor 
County.

The cause of Mr. Walker’s death was from heart failure, which occurred at his 
home at eleven o’clock Saturday morning although he had been in bad health for 
several months.  Mr. Walker was a son of Chas. H. Walker, who represented 
Crawford County in the House of Representatives for about twenty years when the 
capitol was Milledgeville, and had himself served two terms in the lower branch 
of the state legislature and one term as state senator from this the Twenty-
Third District.  He was also for a number of years a fertilizer inspector under 
T.G. Hudson, State Commissioner of Agriculture and up until his death operated 
a large farm in Crawford County.

A man of sterling qualities, Mr. Walker had a host of friends throughout the 
state.  He was well known in this county where he is survived by a number of 
relatives and hundreds of friends.  Mrs. J.W. Bloodworth of Reynolds, is one of 
his daughters.  He was born in Crawford County fifty-five years ago, and thirty 
years ago married the daughter of Col. Thos. Rains, of Hickory Grove.  
Practically his entire life was spent in the county in which he was born, and 
was one marked with devotion to his family and fellow citizens.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by seven children and one brother, 
George H. Walker, of Bartow, Fla.
