General Notes: Husband - George Franklin Walters

---

He received the advantages offered by a common school education at the Pine school house. When he was sixteen he left school, and was apprenticed with Edgar A. Walters to learn the tinner's trade. In 1878, he embarked in the tinning business for himself at North Manchester, Indiana, and there remained two years, when he moved to Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and in 1880 formed a partnership with his brother Edgar A., in a hardware and stove business. This firm continued until 1901, when Mr. Walters purchased the interests of his brother, and took his son Blaine E. as his partner, changing the style to G. F. Walters & Son. They carried a full line of hardware, stoves and tinware. The store which the firm owned was originally 20 x 125 feet, to which another 40 feet were added.
Fraternally, Mr. Walters was a member of the I. O. O. F., also of the Encampment, and passed all the chairs. He was also a member of Golden Eagle lodge. In politics, he was a Republican. Mr. Walters was a member
of the Methodist Church, of which his wife was also a member, and he was one of its trustees, a liberal contributor, and a Sunday-school teacher and superintendent.
