JOSEPH WALKER
February 28, 1897

Word as received here yesterday of the death in Yavapai County 
of Joseph Walker. Mr. Walker was one of the oldest pioneers of 
Arizona. He came to the territory from Jackson County, Missouri 
in 1862 and was among the early sheriffs of Yavapai County 
when to be a sheriff in Arizona was like leading a forlorn 
hope in a military charge. He was a brother-in-law of Secretay 
Herbert of the Department of the Navy.
