He went from Killeen, to Irdell Texas, to Pavla in the Indian Territory then to Walnut Springs, Texas and on to Sanderson, Texas then, Del Rio, Texas prior to moving to Sibony, Oklahoma around 1904. In Sibony they lived in a half dugout.

They had been looking for a man who had stolen some horses. After that Walwin was given the nickname of "Horse Thief Myers". Walwin was elected court clerk of the New Swanson Company and moved to Snyder where he lived for seven years. He then moved to Otter Creek where he stayed for two years and then moved on to one of his dad's farms two miles north of Manitou OK. When he moved to Manitou, he had a barbershop with Ferrel and Claude Hill. At that time, each regular customer had his own shaving mug in a cubbyhole in the wall. Each customer had his name under his mug. In addition to the barbershop, he had a newspaper called the "Devil" or "Manitou News" depending on who you talk to. His daughters, Ella and Maxine would set the type by hand. It was only two sheets and the cost of a subscription was two dollars a year. Around 1925, Walwin went to Long Beach, California to take care of his brother, Fred Myers. While in Long Beach, he ran a barbershop on Anaheim St. until the 1930's.
