WALLER, Sr., of the firm Waller & Prentiss, dealers in saddlery, harness, buggies, wagons, etc., etc., is a native of Daviess County, Ind., where he was born December 13, 1828, and is one of two surviving members of a family of nine children born to George A. and Katherine (McDonald) Waller, who were born in Kentucky, the father in 1793. He came to Indiana about 1816. Here he married and settled near Washington. He was a farmer until about 1851 or 1852, when he removed to this city, where he died in 1867. He was originally an old time Whig in politics, and was sheriff of the county when that officer collected United States revenues. He was assessor of the entire county and was census enumerator previous to his removal to Washing- ton. He clerked in the mercantile business as clerk and bookkeeper of Elisha Hyatt. He was also in the same business until he became involved by security debts, when he returned to the farm, and was also justice of the peace a number of years previous to his death. He was well and favorably known throughout the county and died in the Christian faith. Our subject was raised on a farm and at the age of twenty-one began learning the carpenter's trade, which he mastered and followed successfully until 1869, when his health failed him and he engaged in the saddlery and harness business with George T. Barr, who afterward sold out and Henry S. Prentiss became a partner in the business. They do an excellant and extensive business in their line, and command a large trade in town and county. January 2, 1855, Mr. Waller married Mary Aikman, born in the county and daughter of Hugh and Ada Aikman. To them were born six sons, four now living: Francis A., James E., Archie A. and Charles H. Mr. Waller is a stanch Republican and a warm advocate for the principles of his party. He is a member of the Encampment of I.O.O.F. His wife died November 16, 1867, and he has since remained unmarried. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1998 21:30:55 -0700 From: D Bollschweiler Subject: KFY: CEM: Bethlehem Baptist Church - Spencer Co Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery, Briar Ridge, Spencer County,KY Following information from Funeral Bulletins.

Williams returned home from San Francisco, Friday, at which place he has been located since his voyage from Manila to this country. Dr Williams although he stands on the top most rung of the ladder in his profession is not of the Bluegrass, but breathed his first of the fresh and exhilirating breezes, from the mountains of Rockcastle, and like all mountain boys who strive to climb the rugged heights of time he has not ried in vain. at the outbreak of the Spanish American war he was given the commission of Major and Brigade Surgeon of the volunteer army; filling that position in Cuba during the winter of 98 and 99 with dignity, honor and very much to the satisfaction of his superiours. After the close of this war he was then given the commission of Akssistant Surgeon of the rgular army and sent to the Philippines. After serving two months on the Island he was ordered back to America and placed in charge of the smallpox hospital in San Francisco. Dr Williams relates many interesting stories about the Philippines. The following are a few of the tacts concerning the customs, habits and general makeup of the inhabitants as given by him. The people are very small in statue, but very intelligent, being far superior to the Cubans or even to our won colored race. They are very industrious considering the climate in which they live. Their working hours are early in the morning and late in afternoon, the middle portion of the day is spent in sleeping in some cool place or under some good shade. Thier food is largely rice and fruits, using some few vegetables; but never in any case do they eat meats. The horses in that country are very small the largest no more than 13 hands high. They have but very few cows no oxen at all and the pricipal beast of burden is the Caribon, or Water Buffalo, which they use the same as we do oxen in this country. they have no birds and very few fowls. The soil is very fertile, the pricipal products are tobacco, hemp and sugar of which none is manufactured on the islands. The Manila rope which we get in this country is all manufactured at Hong Kong China. The country abounds in hardwood such as rose wood, mahogony and ebony, which is of the most durable kind.
