  • Notes  Married:
    • Walter was born in Bridgeport,in Jackson County, AL in Jackson County in 1914. Not long after he was born the family moved from Alabama to Petros, TN. In the 1930's he and his step-brother, Wesley, went to work in Chicago. After a few years he returned to Petros and in 1941 he married Myrtle C. Duncan who was from Windrock. In 1945 he started working for the Windrock Coal and Coke Company. He later worked for the local county school system.
      They ended up moving to Oliver Springs, located at the foot of Walden Ridge. My grandparents were members of Community Baptist Church and later, Mt.Pisgah Baptist Church. Walter died in 1991 due to complications as a result of the "black lung" he acquired from the years he worked as a coalminer in Windrock.
