>>it. The obit, is dated 3-29-53 in pen at the top, taken, I suppose, from
the
>>old Cave City Progress. And, Sandi, you have my permission to cross-post
to
>>the Barren Co. List.

died in
>>her 98th year Sunday night at 9 o'clock at the home of a daughter, Mrs.
E. D.
>>Turner.
>>
>>Mrs. Walton had been ill for several weeks and her condition was considered
>>critical for several days before her death. Prior to that, however, she
had
>>remained strong in mind and body and she was as physically active as a
woman

>>A daughter of Robert J. and Fidelia Wilson Sublett, Mrs. Walton was born in

>>She was married to the late John Copeland Walton December 21, 1876, and
came
>>to Cave City as a bride. The balance of her life was spent in Cave City
and
>>for the past 18 years she has made her home with her daughter and
son-in-law,
>>Dr. E. D. Turner.
>>
>>Her husband was one of Cave City's earliest merchants having formed a
>>partnership with the late Elkanah Dickey in the firm of Walton and Dickey,
>>which lasted for 30 years.
>>
>>Mrs. Walton was converted in early girlhood and had been a member of Cave
>>City Methodist Church for nearly 75 years, serving for several years as
>>organist for the church.
>>
>>Surviving, in addition to Mrs. Turner, are three other daughters, Mrs.
>>Russell M. Daley, Dublin, Ga., Miss Marie Walton, El Paso, Texas, and Mrs.
>>Sterling M. Day, Sheridan, Wyoming; 12 grandchildren and 18 great
>>grandchildren. A son, Trabue Sublett Walton, is deceased.
>>
>>Funeral services were conducted Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., at the Cave City
>>Methodist Church with interment following in the Cave City cemetery.
