Schamp (sic), youngest daughter of Jesse and Prudence Templeton Schamp (sic), was born near Fairfield, Jefferson county, Iowa on April 2, 1847, and departed this life June 16, 1931, being 84 years, 2 months, and 14 days of age. In her early youth she lived on a farm at Wooster, and attended church and Sunday School at Ebenezer. On Feb. 2nd, 1869, she was united in marriage with Martin L. Walker. To this union were born five children, William Spencer, who died when five years of age; Edward of Bonaparte; Mrs. Mary Bradford and Mrs. Etta Webber of Stockport; and Mrs. Ivy Keller, who preceded her in death 16 years ago. When a bride she went to live on a farm in Union township, Van Buren county, which was her home until 16 years ago when she moved to Stockport where her husband died six years ago. On account of failing health she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. John Webber for the last two years, and where she was tenderly cared for during her last illness, being bedfast for five weeks. She was always very active and industrious, loved good literature and always kept abreast of the times. While she lived in Stockport she was a friend to every child and Grandma to everybody. She was loved by all the school children, who made her home their stopping place. She will be greatly missed in the community and the home, for she was loved by everyone who knew her. Those left to mourn their loss are the three children, thirteen grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and a host of friends and other relatives. I know our home seems dark and vacant, Seems so lonely and so sad; We miss the feet that trod our dwelling, We miss her cheerful voice so glad On, I know we'll sadly miss her When the evening shades draw nigh, But she has only gone before us, We will meet her by and by. Funeral services were held from the Methodist church at Stockport, conducted by Rev. Bauer. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Smith cemetery. Her grandsons acted as pall bearers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs. Emma Walker died early Tuesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Webber, where she had been making her home. **Handwritten: 1931 "Scrapbook of Unknown Origin"
