The entries are interesting, but the focus is on the railroad, politics, crops, weather, and wars. With his new job on the railroad, Henry moves to Salida, CO. The altitude does not agree with Minnie and the children and they move back to Stanberry, until such time they buy a permanent home in Hastings, NE. Frederick Willis Walters, b 1896, died of cholera and is buried in the Cooper Cemetery in Gentry County. I was told there is no longer a stone, or a stone that can be read. Daughter Grace Marie, was b 1898 in Hastings. Edward Walters marries Eva Day in 1894. She was the daughter of Henry V. Day. They have no children. Minnie Florence Fisher Walters (she goes from Minnie to Mrs. Walters to Mamma in the diary) dies in 1923 of Bright's disease. Daughter Dell marries and lives one door down on 2nd Street in Hastings. Henry retired from the railroad and spent his retirement gardening, looking at the stars through his telescope and discussing politics with his son-in-law. He lived into his nineties and is buried in the Parkview Cemetery in Hastings. end of file.
