Excerpt: ...five hundred acres of valuable land. His demise occurred on the 1st of January, 1895. He was a Presbyterian in religious faith and a worthy exemplar of the Masonic fraternity. His wife had come to the United States with her parents in 1844 and the family home was established in Illinois, in which state she was married. The young couple then took up their abode in Black Hawk county, Iowa. To them were born nine children, as follows: Eliza, Agnes, Frank, J. L., William, Mary, F. C, Nettie and George. John L. Walker was reared under the parental roof and obtained his education in the public schools. After putting aside his text-books he assisted in the operation of the home farm for two years and subsequently purchased a tract of land adjoining the homestead, cultivating the same for twelve years. On the expiration of that period he purchased his present farm of three hundred and twenty acres in Westburg township, Buchanan county, which he has operated continuously and successfully since, annually harvesting bounteous crops which find a ready sale on the market. In 1884 Mr. Walker was united in marriage to Miss Eleanor Hallmon, a daughter of Samuel Hallmon, who is a native of Pennsylvania and settled in Black Hawk county, Iowa, in 1867. He is now living retired at Jesup. Mr. and Mrs. Walker have nine children, namely: F. F., Robert W., Blanche E., Ruth A., Karl E., Quincy S., Dewey E., John P. and William K. The religious faith of the family is that of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Walker enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him, and while he has attained to individual prosperity, has done much toward raising agricultural standards and has contributed by his labor toward making this one of the most prosperous farming sections of...

Excerpt: ...in the shape of buildings on Chatham Street at its own expense and to plank the tracks on said streets between the rails and one foot on each side, and also to build a first class, brick passenger depot and to have the same completed by September 1, 1892. The plans for the same were exhibited to the council at its meetings. It is a fine structure of ample proportions and is so placed between Chatham and Walnut streets that the stoppage of trains does not obstruct the street. Covered platforms extend on each side of it to the line of those streets. A handsome park, laid out with flower beds and small trees, make it one of the most attractive depots along the Central Line. The entire cost of this and the new stock yards built at that time cost $25,000. They also built a fine bridge over the Wapsie at a cost of $20,000, which was the one used until 1912 when it was condemned and torn down. And for two years they have been constructing one at that point, experiencing great difficulty in establishing the concrete foundations for the piers. It was finished in the spring of 1914 and although a very unattractive structure, is built to withstand all onslaughts of time and weather and will probably furnish data for the next historian fifty years hence. In 1891 a new passenger depot was erected by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railroad Company at Independence, Iowa. The ground was broken in May of that year and the building was rushed to completion in August in time to accommodate the race meet crowds. The depot is situated on Main Street, south of the old one, and on the east side of the track. The foundation is constructed of Anamosa stone and the walls of brick. The elevations were so made that the building has three fronts. The...
