General Notes: Husband - George T. Walker


He at­tended the public schools until 1870, afterward spending two terms at Washington and Jefferson College. He then entered a planing mill and learned the carpenter's trade, when he was given the position of foreman, which he occupied some time. In 1878 he went to Texas, but not liking that part of the country, returned to Washington. In 1885 he formed a partnership under the firm name of Walker & Son, which continued until 1887, when he associated himself with C. M. Slater in the general contracting and lumber business. He built the Citizens' National Bank, and many private residences in Washington. He owned many houses and a considerable amount of real estate in and near Washington City, having dealt in the real estate business quite extensively. He was also interested in the oil business, and was a member of the Producers' Association. In politics he was an active Republican, having held various local offices; for five years he was in Com­pany H, Tenth Regiment State Militia, under Col. Hawkins, of Beallsville, Washington County.
