Norfolk Journal and Guide,Aug 4,1928
Mrs. Fannie Walke, wife of the late John A. Walke, died at the family residence 
847 Avenue A, Thursday, July 26 at 4:15 A.M. The deceased was a native of 
Mathews county but had been for nearly sixty-five years a highly respected 
citizen of this city and had endeared herself to a large circle of friends. She 
is survived by three sons, Messrs. Hiram, J. Arthur and Melvin Walke, and one 
daughter, Miss Osceola T. Walke.

Funeral services were conducted Sunday, July 29, from St. John’s A.M.E. Church 
of which Mrs. Walke had been a member for over fifty years. The pastor, Dr. L. 
L. Berry, paid a glowing tribute to her fine qualities of womanhood and 
Christian character and the loyal service rendered until she was confined to her 
home by a lingering illness. Miss B. C. Smith, a close friend of the family, 
touchingly sang her favorite hymn, “Crossing the Bar,” and Mr. Gravatte Carr, 
“Face to Face.” Interment was in Calvary Cemetery.
