The first interior page has an obituary, which details Walker's birth in Centerville, Mississippi, his life in Tulsa, Oklahoma and his relocation to Kansas City, Kansas after "a serious racial conflict in 1921 at Tulsa" when he "lost practically all his accumulations of many years." The obituary also details Walker's faith and church involvement over the years. The second interior page contains the program for the service, from processional to benediction.
