Burials of Edd
and Mary may be unmarked; Jennie's needed
Edward Franklin Walker, called Edd, was a son of Edward
and Sarah (Crumley) Walker, born 28 February 1852
probably at his
parents' home at Mulberry. He first married Mary
Jane Lewis about 1871 probably in Hancock County. Mary
was a cousin, the daughter John and Anna (Walker) Lewis;
Anna was a daughter of Ned's oldest brother Joseph.
Mary was born 23 September 1830 in the Little Sycamore
area.
Edd and Mary had at least seven children and eventually
settled in the Goin area. Mary died 21 October 1921
in Claiborne County and is probably buried in an unmarked
grave in the Russell Cemetery in Goin. Edd then married
Jennie Snyder, a widow, in 1924; Jennie was the daughter
of Frank and Jennie (Mink) Snyder and the widow of James
Burley McBee and others. Edd died sometime thereafter
and may be buried with his first wife. Jennie, born
22 September 1890, died at 94 on 27 March 1985 at Hillcrest
Nursing Home in Knoxville and is buried in Greenwood
Cemetery, Knox County, Tennessee. Without a doubt, she
was the last spouse of any of Ned's children to die,
although she was not married to Edd for long.
