Born 1819
From The History of Warren County, Ohio (1882)
W. H. WALKER, deceased, was born on the old home farm in 1819, and was a son of Samuel B. Walker, a pioneer. He was reared on the farm, and in the district schools he fitted himself to teach. Some years before his death he left the farm, which he had carried on by others, and he opened a store in Murdock. He was a generous, kind-hearted man, and was always very kind to the poor, and his death was universally regretted by all. He was twice married, first to Sarah J. Millspaugh, who bore him three children, viz.: Maria, Margaret E. and Agnes J. Mrs. W. died in 1845. His second marriage was celebrated with Ellen Ward, of Cleremont Co., Ohio. He was a successful man and held some of the township offices, and was a Notary Public. He was a leading member in the Bethel Church, of which he was Treasurer. He died June 2, 1878, leaving at his death 200 acres of land. Mrs. W. was born in Cleremont Co., O., in 1824, and is a member of the Bethel Church.
