      Mrs. Walker professed Christianity when she was a girl but did not join a church until about a year ago when she became a member of the Brushy Fork Methodist Protestant Church and the pastor at that time was Rev. Creed Yoak.
      Surviving Mrs. Walker are five daughters; Mrs. Charles (Lucy) Casto; Mrs. Daisy Bond of Lightburn; Mrs. Odie Cain and Mrs. Emma Huff both of Lost Creek, and Mrs. Edna Burkhammer of Akron, Ohio; three sons; Gilbert Walker of Brushy Fork; Claude Walker and Robert Walker of Lightburn; one brother William Haskins of Salem, WV.
      Funeral services were held in the Broad Run Baptist Church with the Rev. Creed Yoak and the Rev. A. Reed of Jane Lew, pastor of the Bridgeport Methodist Protestant Church. Interment was in the Broad Run Cemetery.
