The funeral Of Mrs. X. X. Walker,
whose death occurred Friday morning at
1890 o'clock, will he held at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning from her late resi-
,Ience, 1910 Maryland avenue. Mrs.
Walker was one Of the pioneer newspa-
per women of this country. Through
generation-thirty years-she handled
with dignity and good taste the record
ing of social events i'm st. Louis.
To the homes of the highest and to
those of greatest distinction she was III
vited for her own sake. She was con-
stantly sought out, and even in the last
years Of her illness, when Others in the
busy whirl might, have dropped out and
been forgotten, her many friends were
devoted to her.
In a way entirely transformations her
charities were far beyond those of many
persons of far gresser fortune. Many an
old Confedesate soldier out of luck has
been helped on Ms way by her ready
hand. She was devoted member of the
Daughters of the. ss'onfederacy, and more
than once has served as chaperon at ma
t.onal Confederate'reuni,n ms. In the Hos
pital Saturday and Sunday Association
Mrs. Walker was one of the first to be
reapested to serse. She was one who,
with all her busy,life, found time to visit
the sick, taking ilelicacies made by her
own hands. Her wine jellies were often
requested by physicians.
