  • Notes 
    • Walter started as a cooper in Lynchburg, Ohio, living on Main St. in a rented house in 1900. He appears alone in 1911 in Cincinnati.

      It was also said that he was a Cincinnati Police officer (vice squad) with his brother Al and received eleven machine gun bullet wounds in a shootout when they tried to break up a gambling den. His brother was killed but Walter survived for a year but died of pneumonia from complications about 1924. There was no evidence found to corroborate this story.

      Research: One of Walter's sisters had a descendent, Jackson, who was a "big cheese" in Consolodated Rock in Sun Valley, California, according to Harold Bisher. He was older than Harold. Also, there was an Uncle "Gooley" who was a professional fighter who lived in Lynchburg and taught Harold Bisher to fight.
