    Notes 
    • The biographical information below was copied from her FindAGrave Memorial page, created by Judy Rogers and maintained by Elizabeth Duncan.

      Addie was born in Louisiana in 1851 but had moved to Texas with her family by 1854-1856.

      In 1873 she married John Philip Walker, son of Philip and Sarah Elizabeth Walker. They were married in Guadalupe County, but soon moved to Luling (1874) so that John P could join his brother James K. Walker in establishing the Walker Brothers mercantile enterprise. Addie and John Philip had two sons before she died at age 28.

      From Luling Signal, Jan 1, 1880, Vol II #51: "We regret the death of Mrs. J.P. Walker, which occurred at her home in this city last Tuesday evening." This would put her death date as Dec. 1879.

      After Addie's death, John Philip and the two boys lived with the Fenner family in Luling, Texas. In 1881, John Philip Walker married Josephine C. Fenner, Addie's sister. John Philip and Josephine C. Walker had four children. They named one of their daughters after Addie. John Philip and Josephine C. are buried in Luling City Cemetery.

      Addie is buried near her uncle, Patrick Henry Walker, in Prairie Lea Public Cemetery. In the 1968 inventory of the cemetery there were four unmarked graves (listed as board markers) on one side of Addie and one unmarked grave on her other side. The markers are no longer visible.
