    ARTHUR WALKER, a retired farmer of Jefferson Township, was born in Virginia July 27, 1821, and is one of a family of twelve children born to Joseph and Catharine (McKorkle) Walker, both natives of Virginia and of Irish parentage. ...

    Arthur, the subject of this sketch, remained on the farm with his father till he was twenty-six years of age, when he began working for himself. He purchased the farm where he now resides, and erected a small log cabin, which long ago gave place to a neat frame residence.

    December 2, 1850, he wedded Miss Rebecca Rogers, also a native of Virginia, ...

    Mr. Walker may be classed among the pioneers of Grant County. He has witnessed the development with no little interest, and has seen the forests give place to the growing fields and the wild game that was once so abundant disappear, and in his way has contributed his share to the work of civilizing. Mr. Walker was a Whig, but for twenty-five years has been a Republican. He has spent a life of usefulness, and is an honest man and esteemed citizen.

    [Published in 1886, this record was written while Arthur was still alive and living in Grant County, IN.]
