AGED HAYSVILLE WOMAN EXPIRES
 
Illness Of Infirmities Fatal To Mrs. Mary Walls Monday
Mrs. Mary Walls, 81, one of the oldest residents of the Haysville section of
the county and known throughout the East End, died Monday evening at 6:35
o'clock at her home following a long illness of general senility.
 
Although her condition had not been grave until a short time before her
death, she had been an invalid for more than a year, during which time her
health gradually failed. She had long been confined to her residence, and in
recent weeks had been under the regular care of a physician.
 
Mrs. Walls, prior to her marriage was Miss Mary McCarty and was born in the
same house in which she died. She was reared in the Haysville vicinity where
she obtained her education and had spent practically all her life there.
 
Many years ago she was united in marriage to Michael Walls, 'farmer of the
county,' and although no children were born of the union, the couple adopted
a son, Orville Walls, and reared him from childhood. Mr. Walls died on
December 27, 1928, and Mrs. Walls sole survivor is her foster son.
 
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. O. Atderson Jr., Presbyterian
minister, from the Haysville Church Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock, and
burial followed in the Haysville Cemetery.
 
{NOTE: Mary Lee McCarty Walls was the daughter of Joseph & Teresa Thorp
McCarty.}
