Personal Information    |    Notes    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Mary Maybelle "Mollie" Polk  [1] 
    • Neal Walker's 1970 Lawton, Oklahoma, obituary gives his wife's maiden name as "Mary Crowder." Neal's mother was Phoebe Tennessee Crowder, and this was probably an error on the informant's part--probably Neal's son James K. Walker. Mary's maiden name was clearly "Mary M. Polk."

    • Neal Walker's obit states that they were married on 11 June 1914. Molly's obit states that they were married on 9 July 1913. Their Howell County marriage license was issued on 4 July 1913, indicating that their marriage probably took place between 4-9 July 1913.
      The 1900 Howell Co MO census reflects a Mary Polk, born in West Virginia, shows her with several children - but no daughter Mary.
      The 1910 census for the same individual, however, shows a Mary Polk in the household, age 28, divorced. There is a Howell County marriage recorded between Mary M. Polk and Oliver Fuller on 11 March 1900, and the couple appears in the 1900 Howell County, Missouri, census. Mary Polk Fuller indicates her mother was born in West Virginia, which is a clear indication that this is the correct Mary Polk.
