Clyde Walters was the son of Robert O. and Luela Perring Walters, born in Grant Parish, LA in 1900. By 1910 the family had moved to Chavez Co. NM where his father, mother and brother Ray died while he was a teenager. Clyde registered for the WWI draft in Roswell NM and was sent for training in "Frisco." Returning to NM after the war, Clyde married Emma Isabella (Belle) in 1924--it is not clear what last name she used at that time, but it appears from the 1930 Census record that she claimed this was her first marriage and that she was born in 1897 or 1898, only two years older than Clyde. Whether he ever found out that she had been married twice before, had one child (deceased) and that she was born in 1882, it is not known. We can only note that when she died, he listed her birthdate as 1898. At some point between 1930 and 1940, they moved to Piney, Johnson Co. Arkansas, near Hagarville. They lived in the same area for the rest of their lives. After Emma died, Clyde married again in 1950. He died in 1980.
