1920 Middle Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho - Eldon Walker age 19 born Idaho, with wife Hazel age 18 born Oregon.

1920 Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho - John Walker age 50 born Texas, Jennie age 48 born Oregon, and son Wade age 22 born Idaho. Wade says he is widowed.

1930 Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho - Eldon Walker age 29 born Idaho, with wife Hazel age 28 born Oregon and children Robert age 8 and Donald age 4, both children born Idaho.

SSDI – Eldon Walker born 3 Oct 1900 and died Nov 1969 Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho.
Robert H. Walker born 19 June 1921 & died 11 Feb 1994 Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho. (son of Eldon)

Ruby Leona Gabhart, daughter of Jack Gabhart and Lucinda (Zina/Sina) Rothrock was born ca 1897/8 Oregon – (possibly 12 Sep 1897 in Union Co as a Ruby Leona Gabhart Ford applied for a delayed birth certificate). On the 1900 census she is listed as Zubal and living in Union Co, Oregon with her grandparents, John and Dorinda Gabhert. Also listed is a Frank Gabhert. Unknown if this might be her father Jack.

On the 1910 census she is going by Zubal Rambo and her father is listed as born in France. Ruby Leona Gabhardt then married Wade Walker at Caldwell, Canyon Co, Idaho on 21 Oct 1916 (#91778, Vol 8 pg 384).

Children of Ruby (Zubel) Leona Gabhart and Wade Walker:

Betty Walker born ca 1917 (A Betty Jane Walker m Ralph C Dye in Washington Co, Idaho on 18 May 1940, #281541, Vol 12, pg 37 & a Bette Loraine Walker m George Arthur Shurtleff in Payette Co, Idaho on 31 July 1936, #316246, Vol 5 pg 2) Unknown if either one is the right one.

Robert Walker born ca 1918 no further info

On the 1920 census Zubal/Ruby is going by Ruby Walker, divorced but living with Peter and Sina Rothrock along with her 2 children, Bettie and Robert Walker. She is listed as a step-daughter. At the time of the census Ruby or who ever gave the information for the census says her father was born in Kansas, which ties in with the Union Co Gabharts as all 3 Gabhart children were born in Kansas.

Unknown where Ruby is in 1930, as she remarried on 10 May 1920 in Ada Co, Idaho to Harry E. Williams (#88956 Vol 15, pg 387). Her daughter Bettie is living with her grandparents, John and Jennie Walker in Dist 7, Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho. Unknown where her son Robert is as I can not locate him on the census, nor can I locate his father Wade so maybe they were together.

Eldon married a woman by the name of Hazel and had several children.

Wade is listed as widowed on the 1920 census. Wade remarried 30 Apr 1920 at Weiser, Washington Co, Idaho to Florence Benson (#272913, Vol 6, pg 584). Unable to locate Wade or Robert on the 1930 census, so possibly Robert is living with his father.

Ruby then possibly married a 3rd time to an unknown Ford.

If anyone knows these people, please contact me at dkmdoyle@worldnet.att.net

Thank you.
