General Notes: Husband - John M. Walker


The early years of his education were passed in the public schools of his native place, and his studies were continued at the Culver Military School, where he prepared for college. For a time he was a student at Cornell University, but he did not complete his course there. Instead, he entered the University of Pittsburgh and graduated with the class of 1923, and in that year received his degree, Bachelor of Science in Economics. In June, 1925, he received his degree, Bachelor of Laws. In September, 1925, he was admitted to the bar and at once opened his own office in Leechburg and began his professional career, having the distinction to be the youngest in his county in the profession. During the first World War Mr. Walker was a first lieutenant of infantry, stationed at Camp Lee, Virginia. His fraternities were Phi Delta Phi and Pi Kappa Alpha. In politics he supported the Republican party.
