Description
Portrait of Morgan Lauck Walton, Jr., a lawyer from Woodstock.
Morgan Jr. was born to Morgan Lauck (1853-1935) and Mary “Mollie” Alice (March) (1853-1928) Walton. He was the youngest of their seven children. His father was a distinguished member of the bar for more than sixty years.
Morgan Jr. graduated from the University of Virginia and, by 1920, lived on Muhlenberg Street in a large home that became known as “The Walton House”. By then, he had started to practice law in Woodstock with his family’s well-known firm, Walton & Walton.
He married Frances Allen (Allen) (1896-1964), at her parents’ home, Red Banks, near Mt. Jackson, in September 1920. She was the daughter of Tiphen Walsingham (1867-1938) and Lara Virginia (Ripley) (1868-1918) Allen. The Daily News Leader (Staunton, VA) described the event as “A wedding of interest throughout the state…”.
In 1930, “Lauck Walton Jr.” was listed as the head of household and still lived on N. Muhlenberg Street with his wife and 8-year old daughter, Frances Allen Walton. The couple went on to have a son, Morgan Lauck Walton, III, in 1932.
Morgan Lauck Walton, Jr. died unexpectedly only five years later.
