• Notes

  _____ "He was a carpenter and followed construction work after he left his father's farm. In 1898 he enlisted in the Spanish American War and served in Cuba and in the Philippines. He was a Methodist and was a member of old Gilboa Methodist Church... Upon learning of his son's tragic death, Rufus Duckworth immediately said that Walter's baby girl, Sadie, who was about three weeks old should have her father's name..." - Mrs. Winnie Duckworth Hagerman _____ [3]
