Myron was arrested for stealing an automobile, as he was sitting in the police station a police officer had a gun on the desk, Myron grabbed the gun and shot at the police officer several times. I found a couple newspaper articles.

All because of a girl, the things boys do for love, or was it lust?

Myron was married first to Minnie Edna Adams (1905-2007). They had a son, I will not mention his name as he could still be living.

He married second Evelyn Irene Antognazzi (1907-1993) on 17 Dec 1929 in Alameda County, CA. They had 2 children, Wilson Franklin Walker (1925-2003), and a daughter I will not mention as she could still be alive.

1930 he was married but living as a boarder and working as a fruit farmer.

In 1937 he filed bankruptcy 

I also found his WWII Registration Card

1940 he was a farmer living with his brother-in-law John A Antognazzi. In Napa, CA.

Later he was a rancher, he voted Republican. 

Myron died 6 June 1985 in Vallejo, CA.

He was called "Mike" why I have no clue. Seems to me he was only in trouble as a teenager, the detention center must of done a good job on him.


I found his obituary: I know it's hard to so I posted the link for it also.
