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]
