Demonstration Agent
Posses At Columbia
Clemson, May 28.—The death of
Mrs. Dora Dee "Mother’’ Walker, 93,
of Appleton, Allendale county, at a
Columbia hospital early Friday
morning, May 25, ended the career
of a widely known and greatly be
loved pioneer extension worker who
had the distinction of being the first
county home demonstration agent in
the world.
To foster girls’ tomato club work,
first started by Mrs. C. H. Seigler in
Aiken county in 1910, Mrs. Walker
was appointed county club agent for
Barnwell county in 1911 and thus be
came the first to hold the position
now known as home demonstration
agent. In 1915 she organized the first
home demonstration club for farm
women in the Bethel community of
Sumter county. She lived to see the
work thus started spread to most of
the civilized countries of the world.
In 1914 she became assistant state
home demonstration agent and in
1922 food production and conserva
tion specialist for the Winthrop col
lege Home Demonstration Work. In
the latter capacity she visited many
homes throughout the state and as
sisted in planning many home gar
dens and in the beautification of the
grounds and surroundings of homes,
schools, churches, public parks, and
community centers. She was also
much 1 'In demand for work in can
ning, drying, and other phases of
food conservation.
The life and work of “Mother”
Walker were recognized throughout
the nation, and in 1937 she was
awarded a certificate by the Epsilon
Sigma Phi, national honorary exten
sion fraternity, for distinguished ser
vice, and in 1943 was awarded a
medal by the Southern agricultural
workers in recognition of her faith
ful ervice and for her contributions
as an ardent gardener.
At her home in Appleton she car
ried on experimental work with
flowers and shrubs and in her exper
imental plots she had specimens of
plants sent her from all sections of
the United States and from 22 for
eign countries. She retired from the
extension service in 1946.
Funeral services were conducted at
Mt. Arnon Baptist church near Ap
pleton Saturday afternoon, May 28.
was not found until later that night
when the attendants discovered he
was missing from his dormitory. A
search was then instituted and his
body found. The sheriff said Reeves
had previously tried to take his
life several years ago by cutting
his throat.
The body was returned to Horry
county, his former home,‘for burial
