Notes: Audrey Walker was born 9 Apr 1924 in Eureka, Juab, Utah. She was
the fourth of five children of Owen Francis Walker and Sarah Adleen Craw. She had an older
sister Ellen Mae born in Mar 1917; an older brother Owen Craw born in Dec 1919; an older
sister Audrey born in Apr 1924; and a younger brother William. In the 1930 U.S. census, the family was living on County Road, Pioche. Her father Owen was a laborer in the mining industry. The children were May, 13, Owen, 10, Wanda, 8, Audrey, 6, and Billy, 3. The family was renting their house and the older three children were in school. Audrey Walker graduated from eighth grade from the Pioche grammar school on 25 May 1938. On 9 Sep 1939, Audrey was a charter initiate in the Mary Theta Rho Club No. 4 of Pioche, and was installed as outside guard. Her mother Adeline Walker, past president of the Rebekah Lodge assisted, and her sister Wanda Walker was installed as secretary. In 1940, Wanda was warden; and in 1942 Audrey was the left supporter to the vice president. In the 1940 U.S. census, Wanda was living with her family in Pioche in the same house as in 1935. They owned the house, worth $2,000. Her father Owen was a waiter mechanic in a lead zinc mine. The children at home were Craw, 20, an underground miner, one year of college; Wanda, 18, 2 years of high school; Audrey, 16, one year of high school; and William, 13, five years of school.
