Tombstone Tuesday: Victoria Walker

For the next couple of weeks, I will be featuring photos from Toone's Chapel Cemetery, in Tulip, Arkansas in my Tombstone Tuesdays Posts. I took these pictures back in 2004, so the quality isn't that great. Most of the people buried in this cemetery are related to me or my family.

Victoria Walker
Sept 22, 1924
June 16, 1986

I do not have any additional information on Victoria, so If you know any additional information on Victoria or her family, please let me know.

M. PATTILLO

I am trying to figure out who this picture is. The name was given as M. Pattillo, and was shared with me by Tracie Oakley (Thank You!), but I have not been able to figure out which of the many M. Pattillo, I have in my files that this could be.
