Walrath, E.M., Little Falls, was born in the town of Danube, but has spent all 
his business life in Little Falls.  He has been engaged in the grocery 
business for about eleven years.  He is a member of the American Mechanics, 
and a Democrat in politics.  Mr. Walrath comes of an old historic family.  His 
mother was a great-grandniece of General Herkimer.  His great-great-
grandfather, Henry Walrath, was in the battle of Oriskany, and at the close of 
the battle, while still enveloped in the smoke, he, with several others, were 
standing together, talking of the incidents of the day, when one of the party 
was shot down and very soon another and another until all but two or three 
were shot before they found their assailant, who was a wounded Indian, lying 
beside an old log nearby.  His grandfather, Moses Walrath, was in the war of 
1812.
