General Notes: Husband - Joseph Walton
He was born at the homestead in Penn township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He attended the district school, was reared to the occupation of a farmer and at an early age engaged in agricultural pursuits upon his own account. Prior to the introduction of railroads, merchandise was transported from Philadelphia to western points over the turn-pike roads in wagons. It was a remunerative as well as an extensive business, and Joseph Walton engaged in it, placing a large number of teams on the road and practically establishing a regular freight line, which he operated successfully for a period of fourteen years. During this time he became well acquainted along the pike, and the thriving village of Delmont, together with its excellent hotel, met his approval to such an extent as to cause him to open negotiations for the purchase of the latter, which culminated in his taking possession of that property in 1850. This hotel, which was erected by Henry Hugus about the year 1840, was a noted resting place on the long stage line passing through Delmont, and many distinguished men, including the famous Hungarian patriotic, Louis Kossuth, have partaken of its bountiful hospitality.
