In 1860, Walter was living in Elgin, Illinois, working as a store clerk (Census: M653, Roll 191, Page 310). He enlisted as a Sergeant in Co. A, 52nd Illinois Infantry on 24 August 1861. That unit served throughout the Civil War, taking part in battles including Shiloh, Tennessee, Corinth, Mississippi, and Atlanta, Georgia, and was mustered out 5 July 1865.
After the war, Walter was living in Elburn, Illinois, working at a farm there, when he met and married Della Bryant, the undertaker's daughter. They apparently separated before 1880. In 1880, Della and Etta were living in Elgin, Illinois. She was working as a dressmaker. There is no mention of Walter. Nor have we found any further record of him.
According to the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index (Online), on 25 June 1876 in Kane County, a Della Fifield marriied Martin Graves. If this were our Della, that marriage couldn't have lasted very long, since she was listed in the 1880 Census as Della Fifield (Census: T9, Roll 218, E.D. 86, Page 347C). Also, we couldn't find a Martin or Della Graves in 1880.
