With research that we did in Georgia, we found out that the Samuel Walker with date of death in 1897 was not our Samuel Walker. Posted are dates of birth and death based on information on their head stones.
Samuel Walker was born on 04 January 1812 in South Carolina
Sarah Amanda McCollum the daughter of William "Billy" McCollum and Susannah (unk) was born 08 Oct 1819. Samuel Walker and Sarah McCollum were married 06(?) May 1834 in Clark County, Georgia. This is recorded in Bk. B, pg. 217, Clark Co, GA.
They were the parents of six children:
Melissa Octavia born 06 Apr 1837 GA
Josephine born 28 Oct 1841 GA
Mary J. born 19 Feb 1843 GA
John B. born abt. 1845 GA
Henry Clay born 19 Nov 1847 GA
James S. born abt. 1855 SC
1850 they are in Marietta Dist., Cobb Co, GA
1860 Samuel is in Chattooga Co, GA as a boarder in a hotel. We have not been able to find Sarah and the children.
1870 Samuel, Sarah, and the youngest child, James S. are in Chattooga Co, GA.
1880 Samuel & Sarah A. are in Chattooga Co, GA
28 Apr 1885 Samuel dies and is buried in the South Carolina Campground Cemetery in Chattooga Co, GA. The cemetery is located southeast of Summerville.
1900 Sarah Walker is living on Peters St. in Atlanta, GA. She is listed as widowed with one boarder in her home.
11 Jan 1910 at the age of 90 yrs. Sarah dies. She is buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in Atlanta, GA. in a plat belonging to her daughter, Permelia J. Hall whose husband, Jeremiah T. Hall had passed away on 29 Dec 1901. This is not a perpetual care cemetery and is a large but overgrown cemetery.
Obituary from the Atlanta Constitution, dated 12 January, 1910 states:
"Mrs. Sarah Walker, aged 90 years, died at her home at Center Hill at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Mary J. York, Mrs. P.J. Hall, and Mrs. M.O. McElfresh, and two sons, H.C. Walker, and J.L. Walker. The funeral will take place at the Center Hill Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock this morning, and the interment will be at Hollywood."
We did find a date of death for John B. Walker as 25 Aug 1908 in Atlanta, so the J. L. Walker listed as a son in the obit is evidently James S. Walker.
