Ellen Texas Walker
Ellen Texas Raulston was born in Marion County, Tennessee. Her memorial gives the date as 28 January 1892. Its biography text places her birth at Ketchall, Marion County, in 1894, so the year is uncertain. Her parents are named as Robert S. Raulston (1853 to 1928) and Ellen D. "Ella" Cluck Raulston (1861 to 1892). The memorial lists siblings Van Wyrick Raulston, Fannie Ann Raulston Kelly, and Walter William Raulston.
She married George William Cleveland Walker on 24 December 1912 in Marion County. According to her memorial, they had eight children and raised many more. Six are named there: Ellen E. Gratz, George R. Walker, Forrest W. "Trix" Walker, Horace Paul Walker, Dorothy L. Walker Leckie, and Fannie Lois Walker Duggar, born in 1926 at Indianola, Pennsylvania.
The family lived in western Pennsylvania, where George worked for the coal mines. He was killed in a car accident in 1939, leaving Ellen a widow.
Ellen died on 4 February 1964 at Glenshaw, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, aged 72. She is buried beside George in Deer Creek Cemetery at Cheswick, Allegheny County.
