General Notes: Husband - Capt. John H. Walker
He learned the tanner's trade with his father, attending the public schools and a select school at Fannettsburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was only fifteen years old when his father died, but at that early age he took charge of his father's business and settled up the estate.
At the breaking out of the rebellion he was captain of a military company called the Washington Blues. This was the oldest company in that part of the state, being the succession of the one that went to Canada in the War of 1812, under Capt. Samuel Dunn, who afterward became a brigadier-general. The Washington Blues tendered their services under the President's first call for three months' men. At the expiration of their term, Capt. Walker returned home, and at the organization of the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, he raised Company H. He was wounded by a musket ball in the right shoulder at the battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia; was also struck by a piece of shell in the right arm at Chancellorsville. He was in all the engagements in which his regiment participated in the Army of the Potomac during its term. His company was mustered out with the regiment in the last of May, 1863, and he returned to Fannettsburg where he resumed his business of tanning. During the rebel raids that followed, he, at the suggestion of the military commander of this department, Gen. Couch, enrolled a company of "rangers" which the General desired should be held in readiness to blockade and defend the mountain passes, and promptly, on the arrival of a messenger sent by the General, they proceeded with their rifles and axes and blockaded the passes at the top of the Kittatiny Mountain, overlooking the Cumberland Valley, and held their position until the rebels left the county. Part of the company at the same time, under command of Captain Sam Walker, went for the same purpose to the defense of the narrow defile, then known as the "Dug Road," near Fort Loudon.
In 1868 he was nominated and elected Republican representative to the Legislature by the people of Perry and Franklin Counties. Capt. Walker was not a candidate, having refused to accept the nomination, but after that event, at the request of his friends, he accepted.
Capt. Walker was commander of Robert Elliott Post, No. 526, G. A. R., Spring Run. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and he was an elder in this church a number of years.
