Died, at her home in this city, on Sunday morning, April 28, Mrs. Letitia Walker, beloved wife of Mr. William Walker, aged 80 years. The deceased was born in county Monaghan, Ireland; came to America at an early age, with her father, Samuel Gibson, and her sister, Mrs. Garland, both long since deceased. For forty-five years she has been a resident of Mineral Point. She was married to Mr. Walker, at the home of her sister. They had one son, William, who died about thirty-six years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Walker opened their hotel, "The Mineral Point House" in 1861. Deceased was a woman of great kindness of heart, a true wife, whose constant aim appeared to be to bring sunshine and happiness to the lives of others. Her aged husband survives her, also her niece, Mss Erskine, who has been with her constantly during her illness. Though for many years she remained closely at home, this fact did not lessen the number of her friends who know and appreciated her true worth, and loved her for her gentle, self sacrificing spirit. Her life was full of good deeds done in a quiet way. For nine years she has been an invalid from paralysis, and during the last year and a half of her life her sufferings were great in the extreme so that death was a welcome messenger of peace and rest. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was largely attended by sympathizing friends. Rev. F. W. Straw officiated, and told of the Christian confidence and hope of the departed.
