Walt was the oldest boy. He got married and had one son, George Sims, who was "after Walts death". Adopted by Walts sister and husband, Clara and Press Brown. Walt liked to travel by jumping a freight train. He would get a job and work a while, then one day would hear a train whistle. He would grab his coat, leave his job and catch the train. No one would know where he was, for months, and he would be back. The last time he called home, said he was sick and coming home but made it back to mInneapolis and died there. His home was in Anderson, Madison, IN. This was before Dad (Floyd) was married. So they sent Dad to get him to bring him home. So Walt died young. So Anderson Ind. would have there home sences to look up (?) per Flo Baxter.
