Obituary
David Walson-1915
DAVID WALSON DIED FRIDAY AT HIS HOME IN THIS CITY-AGE 65 YEARS. HAD BEEN ILL FOR A YEAR TRAVELED FROM HERE 23 YEARS And In All That Time Had Been in the Employ of But Two Concerns-Funeral was Sunday
Friday afternoon March 12, at three o’clock, occurred the death of David E. Walson, at his home in this city. Death was caused from a complication of diseases from which he had been suffering for about a year. He was hopeful up to the last, and only a day or two before his death he spoke of the time when he would be well and able to get “out on the road” again. He recovered sufficiently to make a trip of two months in August and September of last ear, but was forced to take to his bed again.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at two-thirty, from the Christian Science church, and burial was in Fairview cemetery. Out of town people who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Clark of Abercrombie and Miss Bertha Hillius of Kulm, who is spending a few days with Mrs. Walton and her sister, Miss Vallie Wright.
Mr. Walton was born in Maryland in 1850. His first visit to this territory was made in 1887, when he came through here as a salesman, traveling out of St. Paul. In 1892 he came here to make his home, making this city his headquarters, and traveling over the southern part of the state. He has resided continuously here since that time on the road as a salesman, governing Richland, Sargeant, Dickey, LaMoure and McIntosh counties, in all the twenty three years of his work here he has represented only two firms, which speaks very highly indeed for the esteems in which he was held by his employers.
On Christmas day, 1895, Mr. Walton was married to Gertrude Wright of Rochester, Minn., who survives him.
