After a brief illness of 8 days duration, Francis Marion Walker, 88–year old veteran of the Union Army in the Civil War, and one of the eldest married men in this city, died at his home on this Eastholm Street at 9:45 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker had been married more than 65 years, and had lived happily together since December 9, 1863.

Mr. Walker had been a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, throughout his lifetime, and an officer at Martinsburg for many years.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker lived in or near Martinsburg during their married life until June 1925, 4 years ago, when they moved to Mexico, and have since resided near their daughter, Mrs. J. B. DeVault, maintaining their own home, and having an active interest in life and its affairs.
Mr. Walker was born on June 17, 1841, in Augusta County, Virginia, coming to Missouri, and to Audrain County, in a covered wagon when a youth of 17 years. After living with his brother, Thomas, in Montgomery County, for a time, he went, he went to Illinois for two years and there, in April, 1861, when the Civil War broke out, joined Company H, Seventeenth Illinois Volunteers, at Lewistown, and serving two years.

Two daughters, Mrs. Lute Diggs at Mrs. R. L. Hughes, and three other children, are deceased.
Mr. Walker earned a reputation for progressiveness and enterprise while farming that remained with him after retirement, and he was highly respected and widely known, and his death will be be widely regretted.
The Ledger joins friends in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
