Born in York Co., Maine, January 16, 1828. Receiving an academic education, he taught school several years, commencing to teach at the age of seventeen years. In 1864 he was appointed chief clerk in the paymaster-general's office at Augusta, Maine. He also had charge of the State pension bureau. Perhaps no man in Maine had a larger acquaintance with the prominent public men there than Mr. Walker had when he left Augusta in the spring of 1871, having been for seven years in constant employ at the State house, serving as clerk on many important committees, such as that of equalization, of municipal war debts, investigation of paper credits, etc. He was married in Maine to Harriette, daughter of Israel Boothby. Mr. Walker, after coming to Worth county, was appointed deputy auditor, elected president of the independent school district, chairman of school house building committee; held the office of mayor of the city, and was elected representative and served in the Seventeenth General Assembly. He is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity.
