"I verified with my mother that Amanda was buried next to her husband,
William Henry Walker in East Union Cemetery.  So I guess Uncle
William never got around to putting the year of death on the headstone." 

Special thanks goes to our cousin Melinda Jaggers for the photographs.
She is a direct descendant and tells me there are more pictures to come.
