I check for death cert. for him and it was spelled Charly Walker I brought up Walkers and went through them all is how I found him. Good luck .

I know there are mistakes, I have several grandmothers that I know died in MO but I can't find a dc for them either. BTW, Wm R. Holmes is buried in the Dunnegan Cemetery.
