Jan 18, 1929, Brave and true solder gone home. On the 4th day of March

Thomas and
Isabel Walker. When the war between the states came along, the ______
Volunteer
joined Company A of the North Carolina Infantry and never shirked a duty
and
received no bullets in the back. A braver, truer and better soldier
never fired a gun.
When the war closed he returned home and the next year he married
Catherine Long and
to this union, eleven children was born. Josephine Holms, Lizzie
Powell, AB Walker Jr.,
Isaac Walker, Izabel Walker, July Gilder, Jessie Swailes, Luther Walker,
Pennie Findley, George Walker,
and Minnie Matsie. All of whom are grown married in _________ prominent
place in
the makeup of the state. He has about 100 grandchildren, he was a
member of the Snow
Hill Baptist Church and lived route 2 because of the lowly ________ till
death called him
home to the true and good on the 12th Day of January 1929. He was
nearly 96 years of
age and he never did anything to bring approach on any individual and
was one of our
honorable citizens. He was in ______ during ______ through out his day
doing his best
to kill every Yankee that dared to face him. God saved him for a
purpose and be the
monument to his imperishable memories to his great closest friends.
Relatives and near
and dear ones all of whom lovingly called him 'Uncle Brice'. A good
name is better to be
chosen than great riches and he bore as good name as any man.
Thirty-eight years ago he
cast his lot with Georgia and even when he ever lived he had the
respect, confidence,
love, and esteem of all the people. He often attended the Old Soldiers
Reunion and was
the howl of the old soldier. His good wife died about three years ago
and he has gone to
join her in heavenly regions beyond. His sole of name does never die.
He was buried
Snow Hill Church cemetery last Sunday afternoon. Funeral services being
conducted in
the church by Rev. L. H. Avery. Truely a great and good man is gone and
his
eleven children, 100 grandchildren have lost a loving father
grandfather. But our loss is
heaven bound.
Footnote; His Christian home in heaven above ushered there on the
wings of love and
there was with him will shout and sing eternal praises our savior and
king
