Dyersburg Couple Celebrates 70th Wedding Anniversary DD (a jl' law i IL. i 1952 South Highland 424-5311 ysmr said. "They've never really been sentimental, you know, flowers and everything, but we knew they loved us. To them actions speak louder than words." But the personable couple are no shorter on words than they are on actions. They were both active and talkative Friday as they celebrated their anniversary with some of their children at the hospital.

"An anniversary is a time to both look back and forward," Mrs. Walker commented. "We've had some funny times together, and we hope, we have some more." The bright-eyed woman recalled the time they were married by a man "who was more nervous than we were. He was shaking and everything like this, and I almost laughed." The Walkers have four grandchildren, and, after rearing their own children and helping with the grandchildren, "we've learned to take it a day at a time. "And we've never had any fighting," she said.

"At least no knock down, drag out ones." By WILLIAM McDANIEL Sun Reporter Their 60th wedding anniversary was the most memorable, but the 70th is "quite a difference," Fannie Walker of Dyersburg says. W. O. Walker and his wife celebrated their 70th anniversary Friday at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital where Walker is expected to stay until Tuesday. "On our 60th anniversary at our son's house, it was raining, muddy and soggy," Mrs.

Walker recalled. "Our friends and relatives had to lay sacks and planks on the road to get to the house. But the 70th anniversary is quite a difference. It would be better at home, but we're glad we're together anyway." Mrs. Walker will be 91 on Feb.

26. Her husband turned 91 Nov. 6. They have four children. Hardy Walker, Tolbert Walker and Shelton Walker, all of Dyersburg, and Cornelia Walker Jones of Jackson.

"Of course, we can't do it this year, but we've always had a Christmas Eve party with a tree and dinner and everything with Papa as Santa Claus," Mrs. Jones After Christmas Sun Pnoto By Lorry Atherlon Celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary Friday in the hospital, Fannie Walker of Dyersburg said she wishes she and her husband, W.
