Yes, Newspapers DO Make Mistakes

From The Pantagraph (Bloomington, Illinois), 30 Nov 1923, Fri, Page 7 --

Entertained For Brother 

     Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Walker, 103 West Ash street, entertained the former's brother, S. C. Walker and family of Funk's Grove at dinner yesterday.

Well, now that you mention it?  Not really. -- 

1) There is no "Mr. and Mrs. L.A. Walker."  Correctly, it is "Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Clarke" doing the entertaining.  William S. Clarke (1823-1903) is married to Mrs. Letta Agnes Clarke (nee. Walker, 1857-1947).

2) It is Mrs. Clarke that is the sibling to Samuel Clark Walker (1860-1933), not her husband.
