Biography
Note | "E. W. Walls was converted in a church meeting held in a school house. He had been a harem-scarem young man, really an alcoholic. He had an experience that revolutionized his life at around age 20. He felt called to preach. His first church was in a one room school lighted by lanterns and heated with a pot belly stove. He held revival meetings that changed the whole society around there. People stopped drinking. Later on, others would tell him, 'You changed my life.' He held meetings and out of it flowed significant changes. He studied for the ministry with the Free Methodist Church on his own and became an Elder and a Deacon. Elsie, his wife, collected eggs from her chickens on the farm, saved her money and bought a desk from Sears and Roebuck using a catalog. It was solid oak with a section for books and a fold-out writing platform. F.Wesley Walls re-silvered the glass in it later on.
E.W. Walls was capable and energetic. He was very resourceful. He had wisdom and was a person of innovation. He had a farm outside Yale, OK. At that time the oil industry was just developing across the Arkansas River. He got a job as a water boy. In two weeks, he was in charge of those workmen who had taunted him by calling him ‘boy.’ E.W. also raised and peddled produce. He would put produce in the back of his truck and visit the town of Yale. He would chant, 'Cantaloupes, cantaloupes, get your nice, fresh, home-grown Rockyford cantaloupes.' Housewives would come out into the street and buy from him. He also grew pears that he pedaled as well. He would call out, 'Pears for pie-making.'
Later, he sold Maytag washing machines, two kinds, electric and gas. He would put two in the back of his pickup truck each morning. He would demonstrate the machines to sell them. He would pull out the gyrator and hammer it on the lid to call the men in for dinner at noon to show how hardy they were. At the time, he was the number one salesman for Maytag in the country. Management at Maytag wanted him to do more with them, but he felt called to preach. He did a lot of things tos upport his family during the Depression.
In the oil fields the steel tanks were made in bands, one band on top of the other. To seal them, men had to hammer them together. This was hard work. Later, he was in charge of the men who did that work.
In retirement, he raised fuchsias at his home in Seattle near Seattle Pacific University. He created a structure of pipes to drip the water into the fuchsia pots. He named each fuchsia for each female in the Walls family. He created a large tree like structure that rotated the fuchsias around. A picture of each female in the family was put on 'their' fuchsia. (At the time of his funeral, the fuchsias were dispersed to those who wanted them.) He was good at mechanical things and human relationships."1 |
