Married: March 25, 1840 Indiana Mrs. Eliza Walker, one of the pioneers of this part of Nebraska, died at the home of her son, D. C. Walker last Saturday morning at 10:15. Mrs. Walker came to Shelton in the spring of 1878. She purchased a quarter section of land adjoining the village on the south, where she settled and where she resided with her son at the time of her death. She was born in North Adams, Vermont, on October 8, 1821. When she was but a small child her parents removed to the state of New York on the shores of Lake George, where she spent her early girlhood. When she had reached the age of fifteen her parents emigrated west and settled in Hancock County, Indiana, her father entering, as it was then called, 240 acres of land only a few miles from the town of Greenfield. When the deceased was about eighteen years of age she met and formed the acquaintance of Wiley Walker, a young man who had come to Indiana from North Carolina with his parents, they having left there on account of their antipathy to slavery. The acquaintance formed, grew and finally ripened into an attachment which ended in their being united in marriage in 1841, the union resulting in the birth of seven sons and two daughters. The husband died in 1862 The eldest son, Francis M. resided in Kearney for several years, where he died in 1893. The two daughters, Mrs. Rufus Mitchell and Mrs. E.O. Elliott, both died in Shelton, the latter in 1896 and the former in 1899. One son, Julian, lives in Indiana and one, S.M., in Missouri. N.P. is in Cheyenne, Wyoming, while the others, D.C.; L.L. and J.F., reside in Shelton. Mrs. Walker had been an intense sufferer for several years. On her seventy-fourth birthday she was stricken with paralysis and then it was thought that death would soon relieve her of her suffering, but she rallied and survived for nearly six years. The deceased was a member of the M. E. Church for fifty three years and lived a conscientious faithful Christian life. The funeral services were held in the M.E. Church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. James Leonard, and was largely attended.
