Mrs. Fannie Walker, wife of D. J. S. Walker, was buried Saturday at 3 p.m. at Sandy Plains Baptist Church where she had been a member since girlhood. Mrs. Walker had been afflicted for 25 years, 20 years of which she had been blind. About 10 days before her death she sustained a fall and her condition was critical until the end came Friday afternoon at the age of 69 years. The funeral was conducted by Rev. G. P. Abernethy, her pastor, assisted by Rev. J. D. Bridges and Rev. Rush Padgett. During her long affliction the members of her family were most tender in their ministrations and the large crowd and beautiful floral tribute proved the esteem in which she was held.
Mrs. Walker is survived by her husband and five children, A. B. Walker, Mrs. Martin, C. C. Walker, pastor of the Baptist church at Lylesville, Mrs. Alvin Williams, together with 16 grandchildren.
