Biography

Obituary

Mrs. William Walker, relict of William Walker, pioneer furniture dealer of Bay City, died suddenly Sunday afternoon at the home of her son, William Walker, Jr. in Oakland, California.

The remains will be brought here for services and from here conveyed to Weimer for burial. No definite time, however, has been set for the final arrangements. Announcement to this effect will be made later or as soon as decided upon.

Mrs. Walker had been visiting with her son for sometime and had finished packing for her return home. She decided to rest and soon after lying down passed quietly away.

The Walker family moved to Bay City from Weimer when the town was young, the elder Walker, now deceased, started Bay City’s first furniture store, which is still in business at its original place under the firm name of Walker-Matchett.

Mrs. Walker is survived by two sons, Jack of Markham, and William of Oakland, California, and four daughters, Mrs. Carroll Reiman [Ryman] of Matagorda; Mrs. Fred Gillett, Mrs. Tony Carr and Mrs. S. O. Eidman, of this city.

A more complete account will be published in a later issue.
