J.G. Walker Dead. Prominent Bates County Farmer Dies in Kansas City. James G. Walker, one of Bates county's most prominent farmers, died in Kansas City Friday, January 24th, 1919, following a surgical operation. Mr. Walker had been in failing health for some time, and in his weakened condition was unable to withstand the shock of the operation. James G. Walker, the son of Dr. and Mrs. H.F. Walker, was bor in Bath county, Kentucky, September 19, 1842, and was there educated and reared to young manhood. He was united in marriage to Miss Belle Hazelrigg on January 5, 1872, and to this union were born nine children, eight of whom survive. The surviving children are: Vane Walker, Miss Kate Walker, Mrs. Grover Carroll and Robert Walker, all of this county, and Mrs. Harry Hale, Warrensburg, Mo., Mrs. Chas. Graham, Amsterdam, Mo., Mrs. Harry Clark, Amoret, Mo., and O.W. Walker, Kansas City, Mo. Price Walker died at an early age. In the late 70's they left Kentucky and came west, locating near Trading Post, Kansas, and in 1879 moved to Bates county, where Mr. and Mrs. Walker have since made their home. During the civil war Mr. Walker cast his lot with the Confederacy and served throughout the war with distinction. His intelligence and intrepid daring attracted the attention of his superior officers and he was made a dispatch bearer for his commanding general in which capacity he saw much exciting service and had many thrilling adventures. James G. Walker was one of those delightful characters typifying the code and traditions of the old South, honorable, chivalrous, and fearless, and no more kindly, courteous, hospitable gentleman ever lived. He was intensely devoted to his home and family and their interests occupied at all times the first place in his thoughts. While he never aspired to public office he took a deep interest in public affairs and weilded great influence in political matters in the county. Strong in his likes and dislikes, he was loyal to his friends, of whom he leaves many who will sadly miss his companionship and who mourn with the bereaved wife and children their irrepairable loss. The remains were brought to this city Saturday morning and taken to Oak Hill cemetery, where services were conducted by Rev. S.B. Moore and interment was made.
