Hello. My Great-Grandfather was W.F. Walker, the Mayor of Arkansas City, KS in 1928. I have little to no information about his predecessors and have exhausted family contacts. If you have any information about W.F. Walker and his family history, and could pass that along to me, I'd be grateful. Or, if you know of a good place to look for his genealogy (besides the ArkCity Public Library, which I am already checking), I'd like to know that also. I live in St. Louis, MO and can't easily get to Ark. City, KS. Thank you for your help! Marci J. Prather [email protected] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't know what the exact title is these days, or if they currently have a website, but "the other place" is the Cherokee Strip Land Rush Museum in Arkansas City -- it has extensive holdings of local genealogical material. Perhaps someone else can offer more details. I sure wish I was as close as you are, I'd have been there yesterday ... PS: I'm looking for an obit for Mrs. E E Gray who died 18 Sep 1934 in Dexter -- next time I get to Kansas, at least I know where to look! Bill Strickland Oregon City, OR
