AI Notes
Continuation of the Samuel Cadwalder Walker / Emma Dee Pickens typescript begun on page 662 and feeding into the Emma Dee Pickens Walker biography on p. 664. Penciled at the top in cursive (compiler’s hand): ‘[Barbour] County History Book March 1979.’ The upper third of the sheet — narrating the family’s move to winter quarters at 115 S. Main Street in Philippi, Anna’s marriage to Albert Modisette, and James Pickens Walker’s 1908 marriage to Amy Perry FitzSimons of Charleston — is fully legible. The lower two-thirds of the sheet is occupied by a faint mirror-offset of typing transferred from the facing p. 664 (it duplicates passages of the Emma Dee Pickens Walker biography) and is not re-transcribed here. The penciled ‘Barbour County History Book March 1979’ header matches p. 664’s compiler note. Note that the typescript dates Emma Dee Walker to 1916, while the p629 pedigree gives 18 Oct 1915 — flag for future reconciliation.
The lower two-thirds of the sheet is occupied by a faint mirror-offset of typing transferred from the facing p. 664; it duplicates the Emma Dee Pickens Walker biography that appears in clean form there and is not re-transcribed here.
