General Notes: Husband - Samuel John Walker

---

He attended public school in his district, and worked on the farm owned by his father until August, 1862, when he enlisted in Company K, 155th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. In the spring of 1864 he re-enlisted in the 2d Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. On July 25, 1864, in front of Petersburg, Virginia, he had the misfortune to have three fingers shot off. In 1865 he was mustered out at the close of the war. Returning to Armstrong County, he followed farming until 1885, when he embarked in an undertaking business. Several years later he began handling merchandise, and thereafter combined both lines very satisfactorily, until his death. He belonged to the Royal Arcanum. His religious affiliations were with the Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder, holding that office for thirty years. For sixty-six years he attended Sunday school, continuing to do so till the close of his life. [HAC 1914, 876]
