We are sorry to have to
report the demise of another of our citizens in the person of Willis
Walker, aged 51 years. About three weeks ago, Mr. Walker was taken
ill with influenza, from which he seemed to have recovered, when he
was smitten with what appeared to be appendicitis.
On Friday last, an operation was performed removing not only a badly
diseased appendix, but a great number of gall stones and an abscess.
Despite all that loving hands could do he passed away Monday
morning.
The deceased leaves a sorrowing widow and two children, Percy Walker
near Mount Pleasant and Mrs. Simington of Hartford, to whom the
sincere sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended. The late
Mr. Walker was a member of the I.O.O.F., which conducted the funeral
services, assisted by the Rev. H. Caldwell, on Wednesday at 1.30
p.m. Interment took place in the Culver Cemetery, near Bloomsburg.
