General Notes: Husband - Samuel Walthour

---

He was a school-boy in the days when unsurmountable difficulties lay across the path of the poor boy who wished to journey up the educational hill. The county school- houses were built of logs covered with clapboards and absolutely without comforts. Young Walthour had to walk four miles through mud and snow for the privilege of attending even these rude and uncomfortable places of learning. With but little education, therefore, he began life for himself as a farmer and huckster. He continued in this calling six years and thereafter was engaged in milling and grain-dealing, as well as farming and stock-raising. He had a grain-house at Manor and owned five farms containing nine hundred acres.
He was an active member and supporter of the Lutheran church and in politics was a stanch democrat.
