Henry Martin Walker and Elmira Galloway were married 7 April 1850. By 10 April 1860 Elmira and baby Walker were buried in the Walker-Galloway Cemetery. After much research and seeing the death record for Elmira I believe she was pregnant with their first child and died of typhoid fever before the birth of their child. I was told by family members a baby was buried there too. The record reads : Elmira Walker age 19 Female Married born Tenn died in April Domestic {cause of death} Typhoid Fever {no.days ill} 135 ; record dated June 1860
GALLOWAY CEMETERY located on the Douglass Chapel Rd at the Clyde Walter Galloway Farm, north of Sulphur Springs Community and 2 miles south of Daniel Boone High School. The families of GALLOWAY, FORD, WALKER and kin are buried here
