Walter Allen Wannall's son's stepdaughter, Mary Bone, told us that Walter served a tour of duty as an infantryman in Cuba during the Spanish American War, then settled in the Washington area where he worked as a house painter.  His only surviving child was William Howard, who himself had one child, William Howard Jr., who had one child William Howard III, or Bill.  (Thankfully, Bill is now living in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, and already has produced three healthy offspring.)  Mary Bone reported that Walter Allen died of tuberculosis at the age of 55.

In 2008, Bill's research revealed different information.  He said Walter, his great grandfather, was listed in the 1900 census as the 19-year-old son of Thomas Asariah Wannall and living in Washington, D.C. Bill further reported that Thomas and Walter again showed up in D.C. in the 1910 census, "along with Walter's wife Edna," whom Bill determined to be Edna Rose Conway. Finally, Bill also found Walter's pensioner's record showing he served in the Army during the War with Spain in 1898 and his draft registration card for WWI that he signed in 1918 at the age of 28.  .
