Mr. Isaac Walker died at his home in Benton township, Saturday evening, December 23, 1899. He was born in Virginia April 28, 1830, and came to Iowa in 1841, settling in Des Moines county, where he had resided ever since with the exception of three or four years in Missouri. He was married April 1, 1855, to Miss Hannah K. Friend. To this union eleven children were born nine of which still survive him and were all present at the funeral except one daughter, Mrs. Mary Kastor, who resides at Allerton, Iowa. The children are all married except the two youngest daughters, who are still at home with their mother.
About fifty years ago Mr. Walker joined the United Brethren church. He changed his relationship about thirty years ago and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Tamatown. He had filled most all of the official positions of the church and was class leader and trustee at the time of his death. He possessed a true Christian character and during his long sickness, which caused intense suffering he was never heard to complain. Mr. Walker was a loving husband and father and will be sadly missed in the home, in the church and in the community in which he lived. The funeral services were conducted December 25, 1899, by Rev. B. G. Hawkins, assisted by Rev. Pool of Wapello. The family has sympathy of their many friends in their sad bereavement.
