Funny coincidence: just a few days after the last post, Wilburn Walker comes up from Florida to visit my grandmother. If I didn't live three hours away, I really would have liked to meet him, and compare notes on the Walker family. Through my mom over the phone, I was able to tell him where Laura Walker (James Morgan's wife) was buried.
The first mistake I made was saying that Wilburn was Burse K. Walker's grandson. I learned that Wilburn was actual Burse's son. Wilburn also told my mom that his parents Burse and Rosie were buried in Calhoun Community Cemetery, just a hop and a skip away from my parents' home.
If only I had known. Next time I go home, I will have to go and look for their headstones.
