Walker, 33, accidentally plunged into the hold of ship loading paper at Local Plant Falling accidentally through a hatch into the hold of the American-Hawaiian ship Texan as it was being loaded with paper at the kraft mill dock here, Darrel E. Walker, 33, a longshoreman, was instantly killed at shortly before 10 o’clock Sunday night. It was estimated he fell a distance of approximately 32 feet before striking on his head and badly fracturing his skull. A doctor, who was immediately called, said death was instantaneous. As far as can be learned no one actually saw him start his fall, although other workmen reported seeing his body as it hurtled through space after he passed through the hatch. It is not known what caused the fall, but opinions were expressed that he either stumbled or stepped accidentally into the opening. Funeral services have been set for 2 o’clock tomorrow (Friday) at Carroll’s Mortuary chapel. The Rev. Samuel L. Brown of the Baptist Church will be the officiating minister and pall bearers will be members of the Port Townsend local of the longshoremen’s union, of which the deceased, was a member. Mr. Walker, who had numerous friends here, came to Port Townsend December 27, 1927, and built his permanent home. He was a native of Oberlin, Kansas, where he was born October 28, 1904, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.O. Walker. His people were old settlers of that part of the country. He came west in 1925 and the following year was married to Miss Velma Blankenship. The Blankenship family moved to Port Townsend at about the same time as the Walkers. Mr. Walker is survived by his widow and two sons, Robert and Claude, of Port Townsend; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.O. Walker of Oberlin; two sisters, Mrs. Hap Coy of Denver, Colo. and Elynor Walker of Oberlin; a brother, Ray of Denver, and three grandparents, Mrs. R.L. Walker and Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Cathcart of Oberlin. Mr. Walker’s parents and possibly other members of the family are coming here from Kansas to attend the funeral rites. Port Townsend Leader: July 7, 1938
