I looked through these for a Walker with a birthdate that you gave, without success. The nearest one I found was an unnamed Walker boy born 23 February 1917. I could not read the father's name--the handwriting was not clear. I think it may have been something like Beeher Walker. That does not sound like a name, but was all I could make out of the handwriting. I will try again when I am next at the clerk's office. The mother was Minnie Beardon. I do not know whether this could be yours or not. Where did you get the date of 1918 for the birth of Carl? Was it in his obit, if you have that? Are the names of his parents listed in his obit? Could the father's name be anything like Beeher?
