SUDDEN DEATH OF JAMES B. I
WALKER WAS A SHOCK TO
ALL AUGUSTA YESTERDAY
Socially, Personally and Commercially, His Death Has Cast i
Pall Over the City—Funeral Occurs at 11 O’Clock
Monday from the First Baptist Church—Resolutions
to be Adopted by Exchange and Board of Trade.
Augusta has not in years suffered a shock grester than that occas
ioned yesterday afternoon when the announcement spread like a pratrla
fire that Mr. James B. Walker hail so suddenly died. No greater have
ever been the expressions of sincere regret, nor more Impossible has ever
a statement seemed.
In a sense the offices on "Cotton Row" have for years oe»n llkt ona
lug home, the occupants -f those offices, whether of the c.l'-rlcal force
or heads of the firms, are like ’one great family, and to suddenly re
move from their midst one of the most prominent figures of that family
naturally produced a great grief similar, to a marked degree, like that
experienced beside the hearthstone when death breaks the happy fam
ily circle and leaves the chain cf life dangling, as it were, at both
ends, useful to the world and in i:. as time goes on. but, still, never the
same again as it waß before the circle was rent apart.
His personality had made James B. Walker more friends thßn the
average man is fortunate in posseslng. In his business relation he waa
precise, careful and discreet, but that atmosphere continuously sur
rounded him in his business life that gave pleasure to those doing
business with him In the commercial contact. His personal side was
one rather uncommon. He had a dignity of manner peculiarly his own,
yet extremely attractive; he was courteous and polite to all those with
whom he came in contact, no matter in what walk or in what manner
and no. once can It h< recallei »hu* he ever assumed a patronizing air.
He never protruded himself, but was always ready td take upon himself
any reasonable task for the betterment or advantage of the city of
which he was mast certainly a prominent citizen. Several times he had
been called upon to accept public trust, and each instance in which he
did so. he concluded that, trust with a record of which Mr. Walker
himself, or any other man could be proud. During those days when com
mercial Augusta sought to derive benefit by attracting the population
throughout its territory to the city by the amusements offered through
the Merry Makers' Association, none were more earnestly persistent in
perfecting the plans made than Mr. Walker. During his occupancy of
the seat in the city council from the ward in which he lived, no mem
ber was more careful of the welfare of the city, and as the head of the
ft re rommittee of that body he made himself as popular with the men
who afford Augusta protection from the flames as he has for years been
among those with whom he was associated both socially and commer
cially.
As the head of the old Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Walker took
upon himself the work devolving upon §uch an official as If it had bein
purely a personal matter, and in all of these, as in other official posi
tions which he has occupied, both public and In private institutions, it
was his pride and pleasure to enter heart and soul into the work con
nected therewith. In a word, that was a characteristic of James B.
Walker, and one by which many of his friends marked him.
Reverting to his life on "Cotton Row." Mr. Walker has for years
been a notable figure. His business was one of the foremost, due largely
to his efforts and his methods. Whatever pleasures there have been on
the "Row." and many there have been in his day, Mr. Walker was part
and parcel of all of them. To mention James B. Walker was largely to
ldenttfv the man with “Cotton Row” and vice versa.
And it was this man that, his family, Augusta, “Cotton Row” and
hundreds of friends were called upon, without a moment's notice, to
yield to the call of Providence yesterday.
Thp many who read The Herald
yesterday afternoon were shocked
to learn of the very sudden death of
Mr. James B. Walker, one of the
most prominent cotton merchants in
Augusta. Few deaths have been so
sudden In this city and the demise
of this gentleman of prominence in
the local business world comes as
a piece of information that hardly
i ran be realized by the many friends
of Mr. Walker.
The business world of Augusta has
lost a staunch citizen, a devoted family
mourn a graver loss, and few deaths
noted in this city have caused the
sorrow that this one brings to the
many who knew James B. Walker.
From the First Baptist church at 11
a m. Monday the obsequies will be
conducted.
Held Many Public Offices.
The deceased was a man who had
held several prominent positions in
local public life. He was elected to
council in 1901 and served three
years, being the chairman of the
flrc committee during his term of
office. He was president of the cot
ton exchange at the time of his
death, and that organization will
meet some day this week, and pass
suitable resolutions anent his death.
He had been one of the first presid
ing officers of the first Chamber of
Commerce in Augusta, and always
took a deep and abiding interest in
all affairs for the good of Augusta in
a business way.
A devoted wife, nee Miss Kittie
Walton, survives him. and two chil
dren to wnom. in this, their time of
sorrow all their friends extend the
tenderest sympathy. What is their
loss is one to Augusta in an universal
sense.
Mr. Walker is also survived by one
brother, Mr. William d'Antignac
Walker, clerk of superior court of
Richmond county.
The deceased comes of a family of
prominence in Augusta, and besides
his wife, two children and his broth
er. several other relatives, among
them Mr. J. Miller Walker, Mr. War
ren Walker and Mr. Jno. W.
Walker, cousins, survive him.
An Enterprising Citizen.
No enterprise for the forwarding of
Augusta's interest was overlooked, or
neglected by "Jim Walker." He did
not praise his own works —he sim
ply made his acts speak for them
selves. While in the office of a city
councilman. Mr. Walker's record
needs no eulogy—he leaves a testi
monial behind him. It is but fitting
that it be mentioned In this notice
of the one so suddenly, so sadly pass
ed away, that he was to a very large
extent ehiefly instrumental in gain
ing certain improvements for that
government post, so essential to Au
gusta's business Interests, the Au
gusta arsenal. What ever has been
gained In the way of improvements,
the making of this military post, a
more important g.-oernnient site. Jas.
B. Walker deserves some credit. He
had the matter at heart.
Cotton Exchange Meeting.
It is probable, In fact, a member
of the cotton exchange has stated to
The Herald that a special meeting of
that .organization will be held some
time this week for the purpose of
passinc suitable resolutions anent
. the death of President Walker of that
body. At present the pallbearers for
Mr. Walker have not been decided on,
but will be sometime today.
Besides his brother and other rel
atives told of, Mr. Walker is sur
vived by a mother. Mrs. Jno. W.
' Walker, to whom, in this, her hour

pathy, as they do to the only sister
of the deceased, Mrs. James Tobin.
Pallbearers.

the casket to its last resting place to
morrow:

W. K. Miller.
K. D. Dalglish.
Cecil Cochrane.
Deceased was born May 6, 1860, in
Augusta.
Every effort has been made to make
the Hotel Genesta comfortable and
homelike throughout. While not as
large and lavishly furnished, perhaps,
as some others, particular attention
has been given to bringing about har
monious results.

mains of the late Mr. Marcellus A.
Stovall will be held at the residence
of his brother-in-law. Mr. Ernest M.
