Verl Clayton Walker was born in Wood County Ohio and is the son of James Clayton Walker and Alta Culver. He is the brother of Stanley Ray Walker, and half brother of Virgil Warn. His mother Alta left home when my grand dad was young. He was always telling stories about his "evil" step mother and step sister, and the pranks he would pull on them. Although I am sure the incidents were not funny when they happened, the stories became hilarious over time. He grew up in the oil fields of Ohio. He also designed and built many things, and was very smart mechanically. Verl married Alice Carlson in 1933. He is also the grandson of James B. and Safrona Bockey Walker, and Charles Clinton "Biddy" and Ella Culver. I learned at a young age that he would do things for me like repair my Halloween mask, but stay away from his tomato garden unless you need a switch. I can still hear him laughing about chasing me out of his garden as a youngster. He is missed greatly by "Button".
