Based on his Mo Death Certificate and the 1880 Dade County, MO Census, I believe WA is Walter son of Jacob S and Anna E Bowles Jones. The 1880 Census lists him as 9 years old, which lines up with his age of 62 on his death certificate, but date of birth says unknown. 1900 Dade County, MO Census says he was actually born in Feb, 1871. The death certificate says he is to be buried at Lockwood Cemetery, but there is no sign of him there and the cemetery is well documented.
Walter's parents and brother Perry are also buried at Antioch Cemetery.
Walter, a retired farmer and single man, died in Cune-Brooks Hospital at Carthage, MO from injuries suffered in a automobile rollover accident eight miles east of Carthage in Jasper County. His usual residence was Lockwood, Missouri. E. Ray? Caldwell, Lockwood, MO is the informant on his death certificate.

A car driving behind the wrecked car, stated that Gilmore, who was driving, lost control and ran into the ditch, striking a telephone pole.
