General Notes: Husband - David Walker


He grew to manhood on the homestead farm in Cranberry township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He subsequently went to Pittsburgh and engaged in the manufacture of brick, and then returned to Butler where he established a brick yard, which he carried on extensively for several years and then sold out to his brother Nathaniel in 1847. He afterwards engaged in buying horses and cattle, which he drove to the New York markets, and continued in this business until 1854, when he obtained a contract on the North Western railroad for making a cut three miles below Butler. In 1861 he enlisted in Company H, Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and died from disease contracted through exposure in the service. Politically, he was a Whig and afterwards a Republican, and served as justice of the peace of Butler township for ten years. He was one of the early members of the Presbyterian church of Butler, and contributed liberally of his means towards that institution.

He was quartermaster of the Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers.
