Gazette - 15-3-1903 - It is with extreme regret that we have to announce the death of Mr E.E. Walker, Geologist of the East Africa Protectorate. Mr Walker died of Erysipelas on Sunday the 1st inst. At Kisumu. Mr Walker was appointed Geologist on the 10th March 1902. Since then he visited many parts of the East Africa Protectorate and worked conscientiously and indefatigably in the exercise of his duties. His untimely death is a loss to his profession and to the Government he was serving.

C.A. Wiggins, 'Early Days in British East Africa and Uganda', Bodleian Library Mss. 740.12.r.44   Death of Walker, a young government geologist only recently appointed. He arrived at Kisumu one morning by canoe, very seriously ill with Ludvig' angina - eripsylis of the neck and lower half of the face from an  infected mosquito bite on the skin. I wired for Dr Page at Kibigori to come and he did. Walker was then delirious; I performed a tracheotomy but he died before morning. We buried him in the small cemetery nearby, the PC reading the burial service.
