I can not find anything about Walter D. Loftin. Can you help? I know that his wife (Anne Brock Loftin) and their 5 children moved to Jacksonville, Florida. I know where they are buried. Anne Brock Loftin is listed in Jacksonville as a WIDOW in 1905. Where and when did Walter D. Loftin die? Floyd, Issac, and Samuel all are found in Jacksonville. Walter is buried somewhere other than Jacksonville, Florida. I have been looking in Duplin County, Wayne County, and Lenior County.
