R.C. WALKER, editor of the Crittenden County Press, is a native of
Crittenden County, and was born November 11, 1857.  He is a son of R.N.
and Sarah (Clement) Walker, both natives of the same county and State.
Subject's father is a son of R.A. and Nellie (Hickman) Walker, and a
brother of J.H. Walker, of Marion; he was married March 4, 1857, to Sarah
J., daughter of John and Sallie (Hughes)) Clement, by whom he has had
eight children, viz.: R.C., Louisa (deceased), Sallie (wife of Jesse O.
Olive), Mollie (wife of Henry Ledbetter), Nellie, Joseph H., Katie and
Lucy.  Mr. R.N. Walker has been one of the most wide-awake business men
of Crittenden County, serving in several official positions.  He was
elected sheriff in 1868, and held the office two terms.  At present he
is engaged in the mercantile business, and is also running a farm near
Marion.  R.C. Walker received his education in the schools of Marion, 
and in 1877 entered the State University at Lexington, which he attended
one year.  He established the Crittenden County Press in 1879, which he
has made one of the best local papers in western Kentucky.  The Press
is a seven-column folio, decidedly Democratic in politics, and has a
very large circulation.  Mr. Walker is very popular in the county, and
one of the rising young journalists of Kentucky.  He was married July 7,
1881, to Miss Mattie Brown, daughter of George W. and Matilda (Noel)
Brown, of Boone County, Ky.  Two children have been born to this union:
