David F. Walker and his son Raymond of Virginia avenue returned after several weeks camping on the Potomac River near Moorfield, WV. David Walker was one of the few remaining G. A. R. veterans left in the city.   His trip proved very emotional as it was in the section where he fought during the Civil War.  “Walker stated that he was able to pick out a tombstone in a cemetery still standing near the town of Moorefield which more than 60 years ago he used as a breastwork in a battle with the soldiers of the Southern Confederacy.”
