Charles Walker is a part of US Black heritage.

Charles Harrison Walker was born on 21 December 1896 in North Carolina, United States, son of Samuel Walker and Susan M Brown.

He served in the US Army in World War I.

Nora died in 1926. In 1930, Charles was listed as widowed, living with his parents in Xenia, Greene County, Ohio.

Research Notes

Daughters: Charles' obituary states that he was survived by three daughters: "Mrs. Ureadea Cook of Canton and Mrs. Roger Turner and Mrs. Irene Greene of Xenia."^[1]

Possible Other Marriage: Mrs. Roger Turner is James Ella (Walker) Turner (1922-2019), who stated that her mother was Rachel Shelton. If James Ella's birth year of 1922 is correct, the marriage would have been before Charles' marriage to Nora.
