William Walker Passes Away. Another semi-centinarian settler of Mineral Point has finished his course. Mr. William Walker died at his home in the city, Thursday, May 15th, aged 86 years. Deceased was a native of Ireland, came to this country about 1848, and was a resident of Mineral Point ever after. For 20 years or more he was an active, prosperous business man, most of the time as hotel keeper. Since about 1870 he has practically been in retirement, and for the past ten years, since the death of his wife, was seldom seen away from his home. An only son died in early childhood, and a niece, Miss Erskine, is the only survivor of the family in this locality. Mineral Point Tribune, June 1, 1896
