Read More	Walter Earp is Kentuckian by birth, having first opened his eyes in the country of "the dark and bloody ground," in Ohio county, on 8 Nov 1836. He is the son of Loranzo Dow Earp and Nancy Earp. He spent his early boyhood in his native state and received such education as he could in the pioneer log-cabin schools. In 1845 he accompanied the family to Warren county, Illinois, where they lived until 1853, when, with an ox team and an old-fashioned covered wagon, they set out on the slow journey to Warren county, Iowa, where they spent the summer, then moved to Marion county, Iowa, and wintered there, coming to Jasper county in the spring of 1854. Here the father of the subject entered one hundred and sixty acres in Elk Creek township, and on this Walter M. Earp spent his young manhood, helping his father develop the place from the wild, helping split the rails with which to fence the farm. They had few neighbors and they endured the usual privations of first settlers, but in time had a good farm and a comfortable home. The subject began life for himself by renting land, which he continued to operate for six years and thereby got a start. He then bought forty acres, which he sold the following year and purchased eigty acres, to which he later added fifty-five acres more in Elk Creek township, which he imporved into an excellent farm. This he sold in 1881 and moved to Plymouth county, Iowa, where he remained two years on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres. Then he came back to Galesburg, Jasper county, where he has since spent most of his time. He is now making his home with his son-in-law, Alfred Lust, a farmer of Elk Creek township (Past and Present of Jasper County, Iowa, 1912, p.727).
