General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Walker
Brush Valley, Centre Co, PA
As the youngest son of his parents, he was made useful at home during his boyhood, his chief work being to drive a team. He never worked away from home, and in early manhood he made arrangements to purchase the home place, agreeing to support his parents during the remainder of their lives. The farm was near Wolfs Store, Centre County, Pennsylvania, about two and a quarter miles east from Wolfs Store, and in earlier days was known as the "Erhard Homestead." His father had purchased it from Michael Erhard, his wife's father, he making an agreement to keep Mr. and Mrs. Erhard the rest of their lives.
When Mr. Walker bought the place, the old milling property was included, and he afterward conducted the sawmill on the old plan. For some time he carried on the manufacture of flour in the gristmill, but, after the improved roller machinery was introduced into other establishments, he used his plant chiefly for chopping. His estate comprised about five hundred acres, including some timber land, and the agricultural work was carried on successfully. In his later years Mr. Walker's sons took the active work of the place, but he did much severe labor in his time, and the toil and exposure undergone in hauling logs and similar work, left their impress upon his frame in chronic kidney troubles, culminating in Bright's disease, the final cause of his death.
