Judy, I am not researcing the Walker surname. But, I was at the courthouse and library in Gainesville today. Found the following info on Mary F. Walker: Cooke County Death Records 1955-present: death certificate infomration. born 6/16/1861864 in Tennessee died 3/22/1957 in Gainesville, Tx. Last residence: 803 S. Rusk St., Gainesville cause of death: cerebral vascular accident father: Daniel W. May, born in Tennessee mother: Carolin Martin, born in Tennessee Informant: Della Walker, daughter Funeral director: Vernie Keel Funeral Home, Gainesville Interent: Valley View Cemetery At the library, I did find and make a copy of her obituary, Gainesville Daily Register, 3/23/1957. Vernie Keel Funeral Home, now Clement-Keel is still in business her, and on the road to my house, so I stopped. They kindly made a copy of her funeral record for me. The funeral home does not charge for the funeral record, which has much of the same information as a death certificate. Of interest to me was that the funeral home lists her fathers name as Dan Walker May. Oh, and the funeral home info lists her name as Mary Frances Walker. If you want the obit and the funeral home info, please e-mail me privately with your postal address. I will mail them to you.
