Benton County Record

Death claimed the fourth and last son of W.H. Walker, living in the Donovan neighborhood, between Hiwasse and Gravette, Monday, who passed away as did his brothers, of influenza. The grief stricken father is very low with the same disease. Only a little girl remains and she has bravely stood the trying ordeal in a heroic manner. The mother has been dead for some years. Here is a family that the Red Cross should have looked after for if there ever was a family that needed proper nursing and treatment it was this one.
