Yes, that was the great tragedy of his life when she died in 1930 at the age of 36.

Type I of Walter Johnson at the funeral of his wife. An extremely poignant photo and one of my favorites in my collection.

I've seen a number of photos of the group gathered at the grave site, but never this one with handkerchiefs out, the grief is palpable. My mother is at the extreme right, standing behind her grandfather, E.E. Roberts, Hazel Johnson's father. The boy in front is my uncle Ed Johnson, and Walter's mother, Minnie, has her hand on his shoulder.

I have never seen that grave site photo. Very sad.

Which one was Walter in the photo?

He has both of his hands at his face with a handkerchief.
