Humphrey Marshall Walker - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From unknown newspaper or magazine November 6, 1940

Humphrey Marshall Walker, 53, known as "H. M." to his many friends, died at his home two miles
south of Tallulah, La., on November 6.  At the time of his death he had been in government 
agricultural work in Arkansas and Louisiana for a period of twenty years.  For the past 
eight years he gave his time and efforts to the tick eradication program.  He also 
accomplished outstanding work in the fields of terracing and cooperative marketing.

H. M. Walker and his devoted wife spent as much time as they possibly could in breeding, 
raising and campaigning pointers: in fact the ambition of Mr. Walker's life was to retire 
and, as he put it, build kennels of the "ritziest kind."  He planned to call these kennels 
"Donerovin" in anticipation of spending the remainder of his life at home with his beloved 
bird dogs.

Heading the Walker string is Mack Willingson. Sam's Sammie, pointer bitch, placed in Canada 
and recent winner of the Southwestern Club's Derby, is now being groomed for competition in 
the Thirty-sixth American Field Quail Futurity.  Mr. Walker anticipated attending the 
Futurity to see his favorite run.  Also numbered among the pointers in the Walker kennels 
are the producers, Ozark Village, Vic and Sam's Air Way.

In the passing of Humphrey Marshall Walker the field of sports lost a real champion and 
the agricultural interests of the South an earnest constructive worker.  The entire field 
trial fraternity joins in extending condolences to Mrs. Walker and his bereaved family.
