He traveled from there to Kansas before he arrived in Texas, eventually settling in Grimes County, Texas, where he met and married Mabel Cooper in 1923.
He was married first, November 17, 1897 in Trinity, Texas, to Anna "Annie" Magee, of whom little is known to this researcher. She appears with Walter on the 1900, Trinity County, Texas census as his wife, aged 26 years. She was born in Texas, the daughter of parents born in Mississippi. She and Walter were living in Houston, Texas, in a boarding house in 1910. Walter was a Superintendent in a saw mill. There were no children born to this marriage, and they were probably divorced between 1910 and 1915.
In September, 1918, Walter was in Richards, Grimes County, Texas. His WWI draft registration shows he was self-employed; the owner of a meat market in Richards, Grimes County, Texas. He lists his mother, Theresa Lund, as his contact.
In 1920, Walter is listed on the Anderson, Grimes County, Texas, Census as single. He is in a mortgaged home and working as a butcher.
According to Wisconsin birth records and his WWI Draft Registration, signed in September, 1918, he was born in 1874; the date on the headstone is likely incorrect.
Walter contracted pneumonia and passed away in 1935; Mabel in 1947.
The Lunds were the parents of a son and two daughters; all living in 2011.
