The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, July 2, 1908
MR. JOSEPH WALKER, an old time neighbor and citizen, came to his death at
the ripe old age of 82 years, 9 months and 6 days. He was born in Adams
County, Ohio, September 7th, 1825, and called to his Heavenly Home at the
residence of his son, AMBROSE WALKER, June 23, 1908.
He was united in marriage to MISS CHARLOTTE J. SWANGER Feb. 7, 1850. Eleven children blessed their happy union, two of whom died in infancy, and one, JOHN, died in Ringgold County, Iowa, in l887. MR. and MRS. WALKER moved to
Wayne County in 1858, where for 45 years they made their home. Seven years ago they moved to Russell, Iowa, there MRS. WALKER died Nov. 12, 1903.
MR. WALKER received a paralytic stroke several years ago, from which he
never recovered, his daughter, INEZ, kept house for him and cared for him
until five weeks ago when she was stricken down with appendicitis, and at
the time of her father's death and burial was dangerously ill at the home of
her sister, JOSEPHINE BROWN.
Fifty years ago MR. WALKER was converted and united with the M.E. Church of
which he was a faithful member until called to the church triumphant.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wm. M. Leiser, of Bethlehem, charge
at the M.E. Church in this city, and interment was made in the Russell
Cemetery.
