General Notes: Husband - Thomas Walker


In early life he came with his parents to Washington, PA. He learned the carpenter's trade and fol­lowed it for several years in his native city; then moved to Pittsburgh, PA, but soon returned to Washington. In 1866 he and Mr. Fitzwilliams built a planing mill, Mr. Klevis afterward becom­ing a partner. He was a general contractor and builder, and in politics a Repub­lican, serving as a member of the council several times, also filling minor offices. He was a mem­ber of the I. O. O. F. As a contractor, he had the largest trade of the city, and erected many elegant buildings, among which may be mentioned the United Presbyterian Church, the Second Presbyterian Church, Hazlett's Bank, Reed's Block and several others. In personal appearance he was slightly below the medium height, weighing 240 pounds.
