Son of Michael and Rachel M. (Wade) Walters.
EDWARD F. WALTERS was reared on a farm in Knox County, near the Adair County line. He was born there January 17, 1874, a son of Michael and Rachel M. (Wade) Walters. In 1891 he came to Adair County, Missouri, and spent his early life in farming. He attended the Kirksville Mercantile College the winter of 1896-7, worked as clerk in a store in Kirksville the following summer, and worked in a store at Gibbs, Missouri, the following winter.
He farmed again for awhile and in 1902 was examined and received the appointment as carrier on mail Route No. 5 out of Kirksville, but resigned before the Route was started to accept the place of Deputy County Collector under F.W. Gibbs, which place he filled for three years, during his first and second terms of office. In the spring of 1905 he bought a store at Gibbs, Missouri, where he has since lived. He runs a grocery store, a very large one for a town the size of Gibbs.
He was married December 20, 1899, to Daisy A. Young, daughter of Ben W. and Emily (Elmore) Young. They have three children: Bonnie, born May 6, 1902; Edward M., December 2, 1906; Hollis, June 19, 1908.
Mr. Walters belongs to the Republican party.
