As a Walker and Updike descendant, I am indebted to Mrs. Webber for furnishing information on her family, both for the Updike genealogy written by Bob Craig in 1985 and the Walker genealogy that another descendant and I have compiled. I am glad I had the chance to meet her at the 2001 Walker Reunion. I give my condolences to her family.
