Walker Among Oldest Residents Of Haywood The story of Upper Crabtree would not be complete without paying fitting tribute to the oldest residents of the section Mr. and Mrs. Albert C. Walker. This well known couple observed their 66th wedding anniversary last Christmas eve. Mr. Walker Is 85 and Mrs. Wulker is 84. , ' Mr. Walker, or perhaps better known as "Uncle Albert," is the son of Spencer Walker, and Nancy Hyatt Walker. It was more than 60 years ago that he brought his bride, Mattie McCracken, young est daughter of Hiram McCracken, and Mary Howell McCracken, to a log cabin on the mountain known as the Glades. There three children were born. Later they moved to their present home site. Down through the years, the Walkers have been progressive citi zens, active in the work of the Rock Springs Baptist church where Mr. Walker served for 40 years as Sunday School superintendtnt. During most of that time he was choir leader and very often now, leads the singing. He was interested for many y'ears in raising purebred sheep, and owned one of the finest flocks in the county. He won many prizes at the old Haywood county Fairs, and also at the State fair in Ra leigh. He does not have any sheep now, but is equally proud of his good cattle that graze the old Glades homesite. He often rides horseback as he takes salt to the cattle , and in general, looks after Profitable Farms (Continued from Page 1) ation about the community. " The group formed a motorcade and drove from one end of. the community to the other, making all the stops, and pointing out some of the outstanding farms, and projects being carried on so successfully in the county. The community is rich, in history of the past, and enjoy a bountiful living today, and are working dili gently for a greater tomorrow that's Upper Crabtree.

Just because 85 winters have passed for this active Crabtree, citi zen does not mean he is ready to retire. He delights in telling friends that the word "retire", is the "hatefullest" word in the Eng lish language. "I might wear out, sometime," he often chuckles, "but I'm. not. EO' ing to rust out by retiring." Mr. Walker is witty, an inter esting entertainer, and has a mul titude of stories about the days gone by, as well as events that have just taken place, Mrs. Walker utilized , her time profitably, and when there were free moments from the everyday chores and cares which face farmer's wife, she read, and kept abreast of what was going on. Her flowers were often the envy of the many who .came to see them and her lovely quilts are looked upon by seamstresses as master pieces. Mrs. Walker does not appear to be approaching her 85th birthday, and contrary to the rule of many elderly people, she talks and plans for the future, having very little to say or discuss about the past. To Mr. and Mrs. Walker the fol lowing children were born: Mrs. F. A. Justice, Clyde, route one; Mrs. Asa C. Reece, Chattanooga; Mrs. Adaline Henson, deceased; Mrs. Arthur Rudkin, West Palm Beach, Fla., Mrs. Mary Hawkins, of the Tiome; Paul of Baltimore, Md , Clayton ' and Ted of Waynesville and Billle of Clinton, S. C. There are 20 grandchildren, and lu great grandchildren.
