Mr. Eurit Abner Walker was born on December 15,1921,
the third son, to the late Mr. and Mrs. Oscar (Clara) Walker
of Sweet Home Community, Seguin, Texas. He was the
youngest brother to Mr. Oscar Walker, Jr., Mr. Langston
Walker, and a sister. He was preceded in death by his
parents, brother, Oscar, Jr., a sister, who died at birth, and

a medical disability. During the same time period, he usually
