Matthew Walkup, who settled in Hall County thirty-five years ago, and had attained the ripe age of 88 years and one month, succumbed to the weakness of old age and answered the call home. Mr. Walkup settled a few miles west of Memphis in about 1894 and resided there until the health of his only daughter required a change of climate, when he removed to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where both his wife and daughter died. Of late years, Mr. Walkup has resided in the home of Judge J.M. Elliott, where all the tender care that children could bestow on a parent was given to cheer his declining years. Charter Member of Church Funeral services were conducted at the Elliot home on Monday afternoon at 4:30 by Rev. Arthur W. Jones of the First Christian church, of which church Mr. Walkup was a charter member, followed by the ante-burial service of the Masonic Lodge. The body was accompanied to Colorado Springs for burial by Judge J.M. Elliott. Mr. Walkup joined the Christian church in Glenfork, Kentucky, when a young man and remained a faithful member to his death. He was a liberal contributor to the new church building here and had hoped to live until it was dedicated. He had been a member of the Masonic lodge for over 54 years. Lived Exemplary Life Mr. Walkup had lived an exemplary life and was among Hall County's most substantial citizens. He was public spirited and gave generously of his time, means and talents in the advancement of any cause that seemed to him to be for the public good. Surviving Mr. Walkup are one brother, K. Walkup of Glenfork, Kentucky, a cousin, Samuel Noel of Memphis, a nephew, Will Sharp of McGregor and by the following more remote relatives: Miss Mary Noel and Mrs. M.C. Ward of Memphis and J.W. Noel of Hedley. It is understood that a memorial window will be placed in the new First Christian church that is nearing completition [sic] in honor of Mr. Walkup's memory. Contributor: (47114458)
