Death Claims Valpo Resident on Yesterday
Death claimed Joseph Walton Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at his home, 351 West

of death.
The decedent was born in Wheeler, Ind., July 24, 1859, and would have been 66 years of age

Wheeler, and later was employed in railroad work at East Gary.
Mr. Walton was united in marriage in Valparaiso by Rev. C. A. Brooks on January 20, 1887.
He leaves to mourn their loss his wife and six children: Evan and Miss Lula Walton, at
home; Owen Walton of West Palm Beach, Fla.; Mrs. Sadie Ackley, of Grant, Mich.; Mrs.Harry
Baker, of East Gary, Ind., and Mrs. Bessie Bolles, of this city. He also leaves two
brothers, Lewis and Simon, of Ebro, Minn., and four half-brothers, Dr. William Goodpaster,
of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Frank Goodpaster, of Kouts; Charles Goodpaster, of Gary, and Arthur
Goodpaster, of East Gary.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the F. A. LePell
