Andrew Walton

Submitted by Dorrie Simon Dorrie writes: My grandma's info had that he owned the coal mine at Coal Hollow - which is west of Hollowayville. Attached is the portrait I had from my grandmother photos that was simply marked "Uncle Andy Walton" and then my grandmother had the attached photo labeled "Aunt Charity Walter - grandma's sister" which really through me for a loop. My grandmother was a Searl who married a Walter. The photo was taken in Hastings, NE and where my grandfather's uncle Henry Walter moved. Extensive research in NE yielded nothing on a Charity. But then I found the attached obituary of Charity WALTON (not WALTER) and I think this is probably the same woman. Charity would have been the sister of my grandmother's grandfather. Don't you think this is the same woman from the photos? SEE BIO ON ANDREW WALTON IN THE BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF BUREAU/MARSHALL/PUTNAM COUNTIES 1896 ON THIS SITE
