General Notes: Husband - John Walker

---

His youth was spent upon the family homestead in Cranberry township, Butler County, PA, and he was educated in the public schools and at Witherspoon Institute. At the age of six­teen he was apprenticed to learn the tinner's trade in Pittsburg, at which he served four years. At the expiration of this time he continued working at his trade for three years. In 1862 he enlisted in Company G, One Hundred, and Thirty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served nine months as first ser­geant of his company. He participated in the battles of South Mountain, Antietam and Chancellorsville. After his discharge he was appointed to a position in the provost marshal's office in Pittsburg, which he resigned to fill the unexpired term of his father as treasurer of Butler county. At the expiration of his term as treasurer he went to Oil City, and was engaged in buying oil for the refineries, which business he followed until 1865. He was then appointed to a clerkship in the Freedmen's Bureau, and was stationed at Knoxville, Tennessee, under his brother, Captain Walker. In 1865 he returned to Pittsburg, where he engaged in the tinning business until 1873, when he was appointed cashier of the German National Bank, of Millerstown, which position he filled acceptably for twelve years, when the bank wound up its business because of the oil supply giving out in that locality. He then received an appointment as teller in the First National Bank, of Oil City, where he remained six years, and then resigned on account of poor health. In 1891 he returned to Butler to accept a position as book-keeper for Thomas W. Phillips. Both he and wife were members of the Presbyterian church. Politically, he was an ardent Republican, and was connected with the K. of H.
