WASHINGTON DAVIESS COUNTY DEMOCRAT OCTOBER 7, 1911 PAGE 2
DEATH OF MRS. WILLIAM T. WALKER, WEDNESDAY
The body of Mrs. William T. Walker,
who died in the Walker Hospital,
in Evansville, Wednesday, arrived
over the E. & I. railway Wednesday
night and was taken to the family
residence on East Ninth street.
Mrs. Walker was forty-two years
old. Her maiden name was Elizabeth
Adams. She was united, in
marriage to William T. Walker in
Vincennes in April, 1889, and they
made their home in Knox county for
twelve years, moving to this city
from that county. Besides her husband,
she leaves four daughters, Mamie,
Lidia, Ruby and Deila, to mourn
her death.
Mrs. Walker was a kind and devoted
wife and an excellent mother.
For a number of years she had not
been in good health. Recently it
was discovered that she was suffering
from cancer, and on last Monday
she was taken to a hospital in Evansville
where on Wednesday a surgical
operation was performed with the
hope of saving her life. She never
recovered from the operation, and
death resulted at 11:50 that morning.
She was a member of St. Simon's
congregation. Funeral services will be
conducted at the church Friday
morning at 9 o'clock. Burial in St. John's
Cemetery.

11wtd WILLIAM T. WALKER
(note: there was a whole page of applications for liquor licenses, and each one had the
11wtd before the applicants name- no idea what it means) They may have had to re-apply
each year, because there were newspaper announcements in several different years.
