She was a telephone operator for Waco Telephone Company before her marriage when there were about 200 lines and the operator had to remember all the numbers. She liked to tell about that.

Runie married Henry John Stricker, Sr on 10 May 1899 in Marlin, Falls Co, Texas.

Notes:

If dates are entered correctly, Walter is too old to be the child of either Henry or Runie (census transcribers say "Rosie). If Walter is indeed 9. Henry is 20, and Runie is 19. However, Runie does list one birth, one living, but no child is listed that would fit.
This record has set him as "adopted" until something clears this up. perhaps they meant 9 months?

Birth:
Census record shows born in 1890 (or 1891 as scratched thru) and age 9 in 1900; however both parents would have been about 10 yrs old. Surmised that "9" meant nine months.
A note from Paula Deming, whose husband Kris Banard descended from this line, contacted me (13 Apr 2011) and stated he was born 1900 and died in 1902. So, the "9" was nine months.

Died:
Greenwood Cemetery, Waco (Bellmead), McLennan Co, Texas

Written of little Walter Stricker by his sister in her journal, "Before little Walter was three, his tiny life was snuffed out by diptheria. There were no antitoxin in Calvert, nor any infallible medical diagnostician. So, after three weeks of "sore throat and tonsillitis," as he lay in Mama's arms one early morning just before dawn, death took him from her."
full journal is attached.

Informant on his mother's d.c. in 1968.

"Henry John Stricker Jr., b. 29 August, 1903, in Waco, md. 1) Mary Josephine Hackbusch, in 1929. (Divorced) Md. 2) Mamie Keeling 5 August 1953. My husband and I visited Henry and Mamie in 1984; they were very sweet people. Uncle Henry died 5 March 1993 in Waco; I can't find a date for Mamie's death, but I believe it was by 1990, and Henry then remarried his first wife. Henry and his first wife adopted 2 children; I don't have see any notes about them."
