  ORLANDO WALKER, farmer, P. O. Palestine, was born May 1, 1851, on La Motte
Prairie. He is a son of Charles S. Walker, deceased, who was a fond and
indulgent parent, a good husband and an industrious farmer. Mr. O. Walker was
educated in this county and at Merom, Ind. In early life, he, like Nimrod, of
Biblical fame, was very fond of the chase, and the deep-mouthed baying of the
hounds, was music in his ear. He was joined in matrimony, November 16, 1871, to
Miss Matilda Wright, born February 14, 1847, in Gibson County, Ind. She is a
daughter of Andrew J. and Lucinda (Spain) Wright, and is the mother of three
children, living, Virgil, born June 17, 1875; Jessie, born December 14, 1877;
and Horace, born February 29, 1880. Mrs. Walker is a fond mother and a member of
the Union Christian Church. Mr. Walker has been identified with the Republican
party.
