General Notes: Husband - Alexander G. Walker


He was born on the old family homestead in Wayne township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He attended the township schools and later Dayton Academy, and for five years taught school. He then spent about four years in Jefferson County, where he was engaged in lumbering, after which he returned to Armstrong County and purchased the part of the family homestead where he thereafter lived. He made substantial improvements there, erecting all the buildings on the place. He followed farming and stock raising.
The family belonged to the United Presbyterian Church, in which Mr. Walker was an elder for many years. He was long influential in politics and on the Republican ticket was elected auditor of Armstrong County, which office he held for two terms, six years; he served also as a member of the township school board, of which body he was president for some time and was later treasurer, and he was township supervisor.
