Death of Chester C. Walker

Neenah, Wis., March 22.-- Chester C. Walker, one of the most prominent,
active and wide awake farmers of the town of Neenah, died at his home last
evening of consumption at the age of 43 years.  Mr. Walker was born in this
city Nov. 18, 1852.  His parents, who were among the early settlers, were
Phineas W. Walker of English parentage and Nancy Kilton of Scotch ancestry.
The deceased received a common school education and also took a course in
the Oshkosh Business college from which he graduated in 1874.  After
leaving school he entered the occupation of farming, which he has followed
with unqualified success.  Mr. Walker was a practical farmer in every sense
of the word and one of the leading spirits at the farm institutes and dairy
meetings held throughout the county.  A wife and four children, Marcia
Walker, Bernard Walker, Chester Walker and Willie Walker, survive.  The
funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence.
Interment will occur at Oak Hill cemetery.
