James F. Walker

	James F. Walker, eldest son of Cullen F. Walker, came to Colorado in the autumn

of 1900 and bought a fruit farm adjoining his father's which he operated

successfully until recently, when he sold it.  He has been actively connected

with the management of county affairs and in political movements as a Socialist. 

In the fall of 1902 he was the Socialist candidate for the state legislature,

and has otherwise been prominent in public local interests.  He was married in

Chicago to Miss Rebecca Hedges, and they had three children, Fordyce H., Albert

C. and Hollis, the last named being deceased.  Mrs. Walker died on February 15,

1903.
