He was farming in Elgin, BastTX. He listed his height as "Med." build as "Stout". His eyes were colored gray, and his hair brown. 5   His nephew, E. Earl Durham, used to tell a family story regarding Walter being a man of incredible strength (somewhere there exists a picture of him lifting a horse off the ground!).  He could cut two cords of wood in a single day--with only a pole ax.   He also had a lot of body hair.  Another Durham family legend tells of the origin regarding this strange body characteristic.  One day, his mother, who was pregnant, heard a knock at the door.  She got up, opened the door, and found herself face-to-face with a large growling bear standing on his two hind legs.  The shock caused her to faint. After they revived her, she learned the bear was in fact tame, and part of a salesman's pitch.  A few months later, Walter was born oddly already covered with dark hair.  It was then surmised that he had inherited the spirit of the bear.

Notes:

Records from the War Departement, The Military Secretary's office, Washington, D.C., dated 8/29/1905 show that Stephen F. Austin Baker, Private, Company E, 2nd Battalion, Waul's Texas Legion, C.S.A., was enlisted June 6, 1862; and that he was transferred to Company E, 1st Battalion of that organization and that he joined on March 28, 1864, but no later record of him is found. There are no rolls of the last mentioned organization subsequent to Feb. 29, 1864 on file. Stephen is listed on the Confederate Master rolls and is said to have been in the battles of Vicksburg and Manassas, Virginia. The Lavaca County Texas census shows Daniel Jr., Edward, Joel, and Stephen F. Austin Baker. Stephen and Harriet are rumored to be buried in unmarked graves in the Peacock Cemetery, in Aspermont, StonTX. More concrete information as to their exact burial location is needed. There were members of the Church of Christ. From 1880 US Census for Precinct 8, Lavaca Co, TX:   Name Rel. Mar. Stat Gender Race Age Birth Place Occ. Father BPlace Mother BPlace A.
