A few years after the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. WALTER, they moved to the Crum district in Chautauqua county where they resided until three years ago when they moved to Sedan and purchased the home in which they lived.

Mr. WALTER was a prominent farmer in the Crum neighborhood. His irreproachable character and sterling qualities made him an outstanding leader in that vicinity where he was active in all that stood for the best interests of the community.

At the age of 14, Mr. WALTER united with the Methodist church at Antioch near Howard, Kansas and later when they moved to Sedan he united with the Christian church here.

He was always ready to do a kind deed and was an inspiration to the community in which he lived.

He will be sadly missed by relatives and friends.
