The Covington Star, May 20, 1885
Death of Mrs. Nancy W. Walker
     Died, at her residence near Brick Store, in Newton County, on the morning 
of May 11, 1885, Mrs. Nancy W., wife of Thomas A. Walker, Esq., in her sixty 
seventh year. She had been a great and constant sufferer for many years, but 
bore it with great patience and meekness. Though greatly enfeebled, yet up to 
the day before her death, no one thought the hour of her departure was so near.
Ten days before her death her sister, Miss Sallie Glass, who had been living in 
the family of Mr. Walker, died, thus causing a double bereavement to the dear 
sorrowning household. Death found both, after living useful, exemplary lives, 
ready for the change, and they sweetly sleep in Jesus. Mrs. Walker left an aged 
companion, whom she made a good and tender wife, a helpmate indeed, three 
loving daughters, one son, some grandchildren and one sister. She had for many 
years been a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church. No blot rests on her 
fair name. Her memory and virtues are enshrined in the hearts of all who knew 
her. Many sad and sorrowing ones showed respect to the dead sisters, and deep 
sympathy for the bereaved family by attendance at their funerals, preached on 
each occasion by Elder Wm. S. Montgomery. The two sisters had lived together 
forty five years, assisting each other in life's pilgrimage. Death made a short
separation. We feel that they are again united to part no more forever. A Friend
