On Tuesday afternoon relatives at Cisne received a message bearing the sad intelligence that Mrs. Lucy A. Walker  had reached the end of the roadway at the family home near Mt. Vernon. Ill. Yes she has reached the end and behind her are the mile-posts of a well rounded life. She has been an invalid and a constant sufferer for many years and many were the sacrifies she has made for her loved ones and those who needed help.

She was reared near Cisne and it gave her great pleasure and delight to call it home, and by her own request her remains were brought to the home of her niece Mrs. S. G. Cisne of Cisne and funeral held at the Christian church of which she was a devoted member.  Her membership being at Mt. Vernon.

She was not given to display of her religion but lived a quiet modest Christian life in her home and her family and community were alike devoted to her.
