General Notes: Husband - Peter Walters

---

He was only five years old at the time of his father's death, but he remained at home with his mother until he had attained his majority, assisting in the management and cultivation of the home farm. For two years after leaving home he operated rented land, and then purchased a small place in Madison township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, which he sold two years later. His next purchase consisted of fifty acres which he operated for four years, and on selling that place he rented the old Weaver homestead for two years, after which he owned and operated a farm in Venango County, for fourteen years. Returning to Clarion County, he purchased the Weaver homestead, which he sold several years later on his removal to Rimersburg, where he continued to make his home until the death of his first wife.
After the death of his first wife Mr. Walters removed to the oil fields of Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in business until 1879, when he retired and returned to his home in Rimersburg. Financially he had prospered, and attained to a position of affluence.
After reaching manhood he almost continuously filled some official position, among them being those of school director, overseer of the poor, street commissioner, and member of both the town council and board of health. Politically he affiliated with the Democratic party, and religiously was a member of the Reformed Church, in which he served as elder for one term and deacon for many years. Being a great reader, he became well posted on the leading questions and issues of the day.
