ANDREW J. WALKER, farmer, P.O., Murdock, was born on the old home farm in the year 1815, and is a son of Samuel Walker, a pioneer; was reared on the farm, and received only a common education in the district schools. He was married in 1839 to Leah, daughter of Isaac Phillips, an early settler in this county. Since his marriage he has lived on the place where he now resides, and has prospered. He and his wife are members of the Bethel Church, to which he has belonged fifty years. He was Deacon of the church from 1840 to 1881, at which time he was elected a Ruling Elder. To Mr. and Mrs. W. nine children were born, eight living, viz: Cynthia, Hannah L., Sarah R., LaFayette, (who is a minister in the Presbyterian Church.) Edward S., Isaac N., Vira and James L.; and infant deceased. Mr. W. owns 112 acres of excellent land, which is well improved. Five of his children are members of the Bethel Church, which is a source of gratification to their aged parents. |
