    3. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 87, No 2, p 63, July 14, 1919. Eugene A. Walters was born in the town of Linn, Walworth County, Wis., April 28, 1848, and passed into eternal rest Tuesday morning, April 22, 1919. Mr. Walters was the son of Thomas and Alzina Walters, and was a member of a family of six own brothers and sisters and two half brothers. With the exception of a little more than two years spent at Juneau, Wis., when he was a boy, his entire life has been lived in, or in the vicinity of Walworth. September 28, 1871, he took for his bride Miss Elizabeth Emma Swinney, of Walworth, and to this union were born five children, two of whom, Wilbur and Harold, preceded him to their future abode. Brother Walters had been almost a helpless invalid for eight years or more, but seldom spoke of his own condition, exemplifying his faith in the Savior by keeping cheerful and greeting his friends with a smile rather than with despondency. His devoted wife and daughter, Mabel, who have so tenderly cared for him through all of his illness, one son, Wilfred, of Chico, Cal., a daughter, Maud, who is an invalid, two grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters, in addition to a multitude of friends, are left to look forward to the time of the great reunion. Funeral services were conducted from the house on the afternoon of April 24, by C. B. Loofbourrow, pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Walworth, of which Mr. Walters had long been a faithful member, and interment was made in the Walworth Cemetery. C. B. L. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 94, No 9, p 287, Feb. 26, 1923. Elizabeth Emma Swinney was born in Shiloh, N. J., August 13, 1843, and died at her home in Walworth on January 17, 1923, at the age of 79 years, 5 months and 4 days. She was the eldest child of Ephraim B. and Mary Ann Ayers Swinney. She had two brothers, Edwin and Joseph, who preceded her in death. She came to Illinois with her parents when nine years of age, moving from there to Walworth the following year and had lived here continuously ever since. At thirteen years of age she united with the Walworth Seventh Day Baptist Church and has been faithful to that early religious conviction since. She was married September 28, 1871, to Eugene A. Walters, who died in 1919. To them were born five children - Harold E., who died in 1909, Wilbur, who died in infancy, Wilfred R., Mabel, and Maude, who survive her. She also leaves two grandchildren, Eleanor and Harold Walters. Mrs. Walters has for the last few years been gradually failing in health and a sudden attack of apoplexy Wednesday morning took her in a few hours. She was of a sunshiny disposition even when afflicted bodily. She was loved by her friends and neighbors, who grieve with her family at her departure. The funeral was held Friday afternoon, January 19, at 2 o'clock at the house, Rev. G. D. Hargis officiating. They Came to Milton http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
