MRS. R.E. WALKER DIES HERE TODAY

Mrs. Clara Walker, widow of the late R.E. Walker, Sr., one of Brunswick’s 
oldest and best known women, died at the Brunswick hospital this morning.  She 
had been ill for a long time and had been in the hospital for treatment some 
months.

Mrs. Walker resided at the old family home, 208 Howe Street.  No survivor is 
in the city at this time, therefore definite facts about her are not 
available.  However, it is understood she had resided in Brunswick all of her 
life.

Mrs. Walker is survived by two sons, Newton W. Walker, New Orleans, and R.E. 
Walker, Atlanta.

Funeral arrangements will be announced later by the Edo Miller & Sons Funeral 
Home.
