General Notes: Husband - Henry B. Stalker
He obtained his education in the Crossroads school-house in Sugar Creek Township, [Venango County, PA] after which he assisted his father in operating the home farm for a time and then went into business for himself, purchasing a team and operating a huckster wagon at Parker's Landing. For several years after his marriage he rented a farm in Venango Township, [Butler County,] later moved to a second farm but decided to return to the first one and subsequently bought seventy-six acres, a part of which was still in timber. Probably this land was underlaid with coal but he had no opened bank, although both gas and oil added to his income, he having one gas well and six producing oil wells. He put up all the farm buildings, these being comfortable and substantial.
He and family were prominent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Eau Claire borough in which he was a class leader for twenty-eight years and also a trustee for a long period. Mr. Stalker had interests aside from those mentioned, having been agent for the George W. Clark Company, of Jacksonville, Florida, for six years, and for the Monumental Bronze Company, for fifteen years. He was considered a man of exceptionally good business qualifications.
In politics, Mr. Stalker was identified with the Democratic party, but he was not a seeker for political honors. He was a member of the K. O. T. M. and was past commander of the lodge at Eau Claire. [HBC 1909, 1196]
