Cass County.

D.N. WALKER, Police Magistrate of the city of Virginia, was born
in Fauquier County, State of Virginia.  His father, Solomon
Walker, is also a Virginian by birth, and a farmer by occupation.
He married Miss Emma Wilkins, a native of Virginia, and daughter
of Thomas Wilkins, a Virginia farmer.  Mr. Walker (our subject)
is the third son of a family of seven sons and two daughters, and
was educated in the common schools of his native State, and was
brought up a farmer.  He came to Illinois with his father's
family in 1855, and in 1860 commenced farming in Hickory
Precinct, Cass County.  He spent the years of 1862-3 and a part
of 1864, in the mining fields of Oregon and Idaho, and then
returned to Cass County.  In 1866 he took up his residence in
Virginia, and followed contracting and building until 1868, when
he entered the tin and hardware business.  He continued in this
business, in company with Angier, and later, with Joseph Wilson,
until 1873, since which time he has occupied the position he now
holds.  Mr. Walker was elected Mayor of Virginia in 1876, but
resigned after having served part of his term.  He married Nov.
21, 1861, Miss Elizabeth Adams, a native of Macoupin County, Ill.
She died March 3, 1873, leaving one son, John L., and a daughter,
Mary E.  Mr. Walker again married in January, 1876, Miss Martha
E. Clark, of Schuyler County, and many years a resident of Cass.
In politics, Mr. Walker is a Democrat.  He is a member of the
I.O.O.F., and the Knights of Honor, of Virginia.
