HIRAM FERIS WALKER and his wife MARY M. GORDON are buried in San Saba City Cemetery. He was a Mason. In the "HISTORY of VERNON COUNTY, MISSOURI," published by Brown & Co.
in 1887, "Hiram F. Walker, an old and prominent resident, for whom the town was named, and Wm. Leslie were the original owners of the land in the town of Walker." Also quoting: "Walker township is almost entirely underlaid with coal at a shallow depth from the surface, in most places at from two to four feet. The vein is generally three feet in thickness, and reached by "stripping."

THE SAN SABA COUNTY NEWS, p.4, Vol. XXXII, #13, 29 March 1906: "Mr. H. F. Walker died at 7:05 o'clock Thursday evening, the 22nd, at the home of his son, P.H. Walker. He had been sick several weeks. Rev. A. L. Scarborough conducted services at the home at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, after which the Masons took charge, opened the ceremony, marched to the grave and there with the grand honors of the Order, laid the body to rest. Mr. Walker was born in LaFayette County, MO., 77 years ago. The children who survive him are S. W., W. W., and P. H. Walker and Mrs. Lucy Doran, San Saba. Mrs. Joe T. Williams, Brady, and G. G.
