(Cedartown Standard, July 18, 1901) 
Mrs. Margaret Lovell Walker, peacefully departed this life at her pretty home 
in Cave Spring. Mrs. Walker was the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Wm. Lovell, of 
Talladega, Ala., born in 1835 and was therefore a little more than sixty-six 
years of age when she died. She was the wife of Col. James Walker, whose death 
preceded hers many years. She was the mother of a number of children who are 
prominently related in life. Mrs. Walker was a devoted member of the 
Presbyterian Church, and loved her Lord with great fervency. Being a woman of 
wide acquaintance, she numbered her friends by the score. She had such a 
wonderful tact in being lovable to the young that she easily won them as her 
friends. How the young people of beautiful Cave Spring must lament the 
departure of their motherly and elegant friend. You will no more see her smile 
of greeting, or hear her voice of welcome. You will no more see her on the 
shady sward nor by your running stream, but strive to meet her across the inky 
tide of death, "Where the surges cease to roll." Some of the sweetest 
recollections of my life are of hours that I have spent in the quiet home of 
this good woman. During my pastorate of the Cave Spring Baptist Church, she so 
won me to her by her thoughtful, gentle kindness that I could call her by no 
less sweet name than "Mother Walker," I rejoice this day to "rise up and call 
her blessed." In consolation to her bereft children and friends, and as a 
tribute to her revered memory, these humble lines are written by her admiring 
friend. Livingston E. Roberts (Cedartown Standard, July 18, 1901)
