Walsh, Maurice Patrick, manager of what is known as the old Dr. Palmer farm, 
in Mazon Township, is doing a fine business as an agriculturalist for he 
thoroughly understands his work and how to get the best results from his land. 
He was born in Highland Township, Grundy County, in 1886, a son of Nick and 
Belle (Hinch) Walsh. Nick Walsh was born in Grundy County and for years was an 
agriculturalist of this region, but is now living retired at Morris, Ill. 
These parents had seven children: Philip, Maurice Patrick, Roy, Agnes, Joe, 
Robert and George.

Maurice Patrick Walsh grew up amid healthful rural surroundings on his 
father’s homestead and attended the local schools, and also a business college 
for a few months. After leaving school he worked for the Telephone Company of 
Chicago for a year, and for another year was with a threshing outfit that 
worked throughout Grundy County. In March 1912, he took charge of his present 
farm, which became the property of Mrs. Walsh on the death of Dr. Palmer, in 
June, 1912. Mr. Walsh feeds and ships cattle and raises horses and hogs, and 
does a large business.

In 1910 Mr. Walsh was united in marriage to Louise Palmer, of Morris, Ill., 
daughter of A. E. Palmer. Mr. Walsh is liberal in politics, experience having 
convinced him that it is better to vote for the best man than to be tied down 
by party lines. A man of enterprise, industrious and thrifty, Mr. Walsh has 
succeeded in everything he has attempted, and stands high in the estimation of 
his neighbors and business associates.
