Walker, David, liveryman, Lake City, was born in Montgomery county, New
York, May 1, 1825. His father, Simon Walker, was a farmer and reared his
son to the same industry, affording him the advantages of a few months
each winter in a subscription school. Mr. Walker occupied his time in
farming in the old Empire State till 1865, when he came to Minnesota and
settled on a farm in Goodhue county, which he improved and occupied till
1880, when he sold out and removed to Lake City, and embarked in the
livery business in V. R. Lee's, on stand on Washington street. Mr. Walker
was married in 1856 to Miss Julia Herrington, of Madison county, New York,
and has two children, Hattie, who still resides with her parents, and
Nettie, now Mrs. D. H. Williams, residing at Crookston, Minnesota. Mr.
Walker is a member of the I.O.O.F., the Encampment and of the Equitable
Aid Union. He is one of Lake City's worthy though unassuming citizens.
