General Notes: Husband - John H. Walters

---

He passed his youth on the home farm, and attended the district schools in Hampden township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, continuing to assist his father until his twentieth year, when he went to Mechanicsburg and entered into the employ of Thomas B. Bryson, with whom he remained for fourteen years. In November, 1862, he was drafted in Company A, 158th P. V. I., under regimental commander Col. D. B. McKibben. His regiment was sent to North Carolina, where he was engaged for a time in scouting and served the ten months of his enlistment. After his honorable discharge he returned to his home in Silver Spring township, and resumed his work at the warehouse in Mechanicsburg under the same firm, remaining with them until 1876. He then entered the employ of E. Rankin Huston, who, at that time, was extensively engaged in the painting business. During the following ten years Mr. Walters continued in the painting department, and then accepted a different position, that of messenger in the First National Bank of Mechanicsburg. Later he was made teller of the bank, and held that position until 1902, when he retired. He then occupied himself in looking after his own various interests.
Politically, Mr. Walters identified with the Democratic party, but voted independently in local matters. For one term he was a member of the borough council, representing the Second ward, and in 1886 he was elected burgess of Mechanicsburg, for the term of one year. Both he and his wife were consistent members of the Presbyterian Church, in which he served as trustee and elder.
