Thanks to Kathy for posting this info, I now have a definite death date for Kerin WALKER OWEN. I also have a definite date for a photo that I now know was taken Higbee, MO, 1917 and no doubt was a gathering for the funerals of Isaac and Eliza Jane. I wish they would have listed those attending from out of town and I wish I had a photo of any of the WALKER's but I don't. There must be some photos out there somewhere of the WALKER's. The photo I have is George and Careen PAGE, along with son Johnie PAGE and wife Katie. Garnett PAGE and Susie PAGE MANNING and her husband, Albert MANNING and their children. Raymond, Henry Hilton and Ruth Alene MANNING. Also, since George Martin PAGE is not in the photo, and last record I have of him is 1910 census, age 18, I am assuming he died before 1917 or possibly was living elsewhere and was unable to attend. Anyway, here is the update on Ike.

L. Rennolds and Mrs. Nancy Enyart, twin sisters, celebrated their eightieth birthday, Monday Dec. 11, at the home of their brother, Isaac Walker, near Myers. 1915 The Higbee News Friday, 22 Oct 1915--Isaac Walker, one of the NEWS' good Howard county friends, was in town Monday and paid this office an appreciated call. He informed us that on the day before he celebrated his 77th birthday, and was able to say something few men his age could, that he was living on the farm where he was born, and that aside from about a year and a half spent in the Confederate army and a like time working away from home, he had spent all of his life on this one farm. 1915 The Higbee News Friday, 17 Dec 1915--The home of Mr. and Mrs. John Dennis was the scene of a very pleasant gathering Saturday, the occasion being the 84th birthday anniversary of Mrs. Dennis's mother, Mrs. Eliza Reynolds. A big dinner was served and the day was most delightfully spent by all, and none enjoyed it more than Mrs. Reynolds. Those present: Geo. W. Reynolds and family, Isaac Walker and Geo Page and family. 1917 The Higbee News Friday, 19 Jan 1917--Isaac Walker of near Burton, who was called here the first of the week by the serious illness of his sister, Mrs. Eliza Rennolds, was himself taken suddenly ill on reaching town, and has since been in a serious condition at the home of his niece, Mrs. Geo. Page, suffering from pneumonia. At the hour of going to press both he and Mrs. Rennolds were thought to be some better. 26 Jan 1917 The Higbee News Volume 30, No 43, Friday, 26 Jan 1917--ISAAC WALKER--Isaac Walker, one of the best men Howard county ever knew, died at the home of his niece, Mrs. Geo. Page, in this place at 2 a.m. Sunday, January 21, 1917, from pneumonia. He had been sick for several days and on receiving word that his sister, Mrs. Eliza Rennolds, was at the point of death, left his home near Burton to be with her, but got no further than Mrs. Page's, pneumonia having developed. Mr. Walker was born in Howard county Oct. 17, 1844, and spent his life within five miles of the farm on which he was born. He was never married, devoting his life to sisters, nephews and nieces bereft of husband and father. Mrs. Page, whom he took to raise when she was an infant, her mother dying when she was four weeks old, seemed to be his favorite, and in a conversation with her one day told her that when the call came for him he wanted to come to her or have her come to him. While he had never joined any church, he lived the Christian life and was not afraid when the summons came, and we are sure that a loving Father will not let his life of self sacrifice go unrewarded. 292 Issac Walker was born in 1844 and died in 1917. He is buried in the New Hope Cemetery in Howard Co., Missouri. He has a tombstone in the cemetery. The Gravestone is inscribed with "Father to the Fatherless". Lizzie (HENDERSON HURSMAN, grandaughter of Lucy Ann Jane WALKER)spoke very highly of this man. Roberta Sheridan has his hat band with his initials embroidered inside. He raised several nieces and nephews. Lived on the home place with his mother, He was called Uncle Ike.262 LDS shows birthdate as 1843 Last Modified: 19 Apr 2001 Reference Note 262 Roberta@norcom2000.com(Roberta "Berta" Sheridan) Reference Note 292 mkbowlin@iland.net (Kathy Bowlin) Compiled by: Linda Manning Billings, Montana 59102 Jupep@aol.com
