The deceased was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but her parents came north when she was quite young and lived in Louisville and in Floyd County, Indiana. She was married to John Walter sixty-eight years ago, and was the mother of 15 children, eleven of whom survive her, seven daughters and four sons. They are John and Louis Walter, of this county, Mrs. Caroline Dahl, Mrs. Casper Zeiler and Mrs. William Hart of Louisville, Henry Walter and Mrs. John Stellar, of Los Angeles, California, Mrs. George McRae, Mrs. Walter Bence and Jacob Walter, of Nebraska, and Mrs. Andrew Baker, of Britt, Iowa.

Mrs. Walter united with the Lutheran church in her girlhood and remained a consistent member until death. She was a devoted Christian woman and was loved and esteemed by all who knew her. copied from the Corydon Democrat
