Politics
In 1834 Walter consented to and accepted the nomination for State Legislature, and was elected. He served one term, and declined to stand for re-election.
He resided in the brick house still standing on the “Half Pone” plantation, but owing to its proximity to the river suffered from malaria, and in his will directed that the land be sold on this account. Henrietta died of pneumonia on March 20, 1843, and Walter removed his children to Nottingham, where he resided with his mother-in-law until August 2, 1845 when he died suddenly of apoplexy. He was buried at “The Valley”.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“The will to change begins in the body not in the mind
My politics is in my body, accruing and expanding with every act of resistance and each of my failures.”
