| I am looking for any information on my ggrandfather Fred Gordon WALKUP. He was born September 9, 1886 somewhere in Kentucky and then moved to Wapanucka, OK and then from there moved to Tulsa, OK, where he died at the young age of 43. d: August 26, 1929. He married Willie Mae VALENTINE b: March 6, 1891 in Bebee, Arkansas to Charles Alexander and Elizabeth Ann Watson Valentine d: October 1973. I have no information on Fred Gordon WALKUP's parents. I don't even know when he left to go to Oklahoma except that his son was born in Wapanucka, Oklahoma (Harold Clifford). Apparently his mother had remarried and was a Watson at the time of his death. Fred's siblings were listed in his obituary asfollows: Death Notice: WALKUP - F.G. Walkup, 43 years old of 2003 (the address is no longer there now) E. Newton, (two words unread/a/ble), died Monday night in a Tulsa hospital. The body is at the Mowbray Undertaking Co. parlors awaiting completion of funeral plans. He died while his son was on his honeymoon. They had to cut it short and come home. Obituary WALKUP - F.G. Walkup, age 43 years of 2003 (the address is no longer there now) E. Newton, died in a local hopital Monday night. the funeral services will be conducted Wednesday afternoonat 4 o'clock. Mowbray's chapel, Rev. W. A. Steele of the Memorial Christian church officiating. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Willie V. WALKUP; one son Harold; two daughters Margaret and Adine, all of the home address; his mother, Mrs. F. M. WATSON of Little Rock, Arkansas; two brothers Clyde WATSON of Tulsa and Ed WATSON of Little Rock, Arkansas; two sisters Mrs. William ROWE and Mrs. Edna PARKER both of Little Rock, Arkansas. Interment at Memorial Park under the direction of the Mowbray Undertaking Company. The funeral home is no longer in business. So far, the yellow book has been futile. Adine b. September 23, 1914, d. June 1973 married Bud Rasmuson and had one daughter Susan, I believe she may live somewhere in California and has a daughter named Kim. Margie b. July 31, 1912, d. March 11, 1993 in California, married Dave Davison, she had no children. Harold Clifford (my paternal grandfather) b. March 20, 1910 in Wapanucka, OK d. March 20, 1910 in a Tulsa hospital but was residing in Claremore, OK. He married Lera Martha Mullikin August 1929 and they had two children; Harold Gordon Walkup (my father)of Tulsa, OK and Peggy Jean Walkup Stevens of Las Vegas, NV. |
