General Notes: Husband - Joseph Walton

---

He succeeded to the possession of his father's farm, and continued to reside there until his death, which was caused by an accident. While proceeding on horseback from his farm in Penn township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Greensburg, his horse stumbled and threw him violently to the ground, his head striking a stone with such force as to render him unconscious. The faithful animal stood by him, however, which eventually attracted someone to his assistance, and he was carried to a nearby house. After regaining consciousness he insisted upon resuming his journey, and a few hours later was found lifeless, sitting beneath the branches of a shade tree upon the sheepskin saddle, which he had removed from his horse. His back rested against the trunk of the tree, and he appeared as one enjoying a comfortable siesta.
