• HERE’S MORE ABOUT
‘Pappy’ Walker, Pioneer
Peninsula Homesteader,
Dies After Heart Attack
(Continued from Front Page)
sunk shortly thereafter.
“Pappy” was the subject of an
article in the Alaska Sportsman’s
magazine and in stateside news
papers after his near tragic en
counter with a brown bear on his
homestead in the vicinity of what
is known now as Beaver Loop
Road. Walker lost part of his el
bow to the bear and bore scars
on his arm where muscles had
been torn loose. He had come to
Kenai in about 1945-46 and the
bear incident took place a year
or two later.
Delta Calvin Walker, as he was
more formally named, was “every
tody’s friend,” according to those
who knew him longest. The Wal
ker home became a mecca for
young servicemen, who passed the
wor dalong to their buddies, and
their was scarcely a weekend that
(JIs were not found helping with
woodcutting or other homestead
chores in return for Pappy’s good
natured banter and advice on the
best spots to hunt and fish.
Pappy was a 32nd degree Mas
on and a member of the Metho
dist church. Survivors, in addi
tion to his widow, are two sons
Woodrow and Remmell Walker,
in northern Arkansas and Albu
queique, N.M., respectively, and
several grandchildren and other
relatives.
Details as to when and where
funeral services are to be have
not yet beep learned here. ,
