. Obituary FRANK E. WALKER DIES IN LONDON, ENGLAND
Sad News Reaches Hamilton at Early Hour To-Day Left the City 3 Weeks Ago on a Health Trip
A cable message this morning from London, England briefly announced the death in that city of Frank. E. Walker, the well-known furniture dealer. It is safe to say that no similar announcement has created such wide-spread feeling of genuine sorrow among the people of Hamilton in many years. 3 weeks ago, Mr. Walker, accompanied by his daughter, Ethel sailed for the old country on an extended pleasure trip. Mr. Walker's health, which had not been of the best for a long time, was the primary cause of the tour, & when he left the city it was with the strong hope that he would be able to retire in a short time in all his old time vigor. But it was not to be so. For a good many years Frank E. Walker has been one of the prominent businessmen of Hamilton.
Born in Hamilton (Canada West), he started his business career in this city in a very small way, & by his sterling businessabilty, built up a trade that was second to none in the country. Always a public spirited man, he gave not only his money, but also his time & brain to the betterment of conditions, particular & general, in connection with the city & citizens.
As a member of the city council, as a member & chairman of the board of public parks commissioners, as a member of the board of license commissioners, & in many less public positions of trust in which he had been placed at carious times, he did good service, sparing himself at no point where the public good was at stake. In many a Hamilton home where Mr. Walker's generous hand had done good by stealth there will be mourning to-day & true-hearted sympathy for the bereaved family. Some years ago Mr. Walker's health began to fail & there were times when had it been another man, a collapse might have occurred. But his indomitable will & cheery disposition carried him through & his many friends had hoped that he would yet be able to finally overcome his infirmities. Mr. Walker was in his 52 year.
He leaves to mourn his death a widow, a son - Frank Jr., who is manager of his father's business - & a daughter - Miss Ethel - who accompanied her father on his present trip.
A brother - Raymond - lives in Toronto, & there are 2 sisters -
Mrs. T. S. Gosnell of Winnipeg, & Mrs. G. L. Johnson, of this city.
The deceased was always a prominent worker in the ranks of the Conservative party, & was a member of the Masonic order, Foresters, & many other fraternal organizations. His son, who received the sad message this morning, has cabled the firm's London banker's to take charge of the remains & have them prepared for shipment to Hamilton at once. Until a reply is received to this message no arrangement can be made for the funeral. The Hamilton Spectator, September 26, 1907. - - -
