In some way, he lost his footing and fell over the unprotected edge to the hard ground below. He was caried home and Dr. Lytle summoned. It was found on examination that no bones had been broken, but his body and limbs were severely bruised. As his injuries were not of a serious character, he will doubtless soon recover.[9]
  • The 1885 Johnson County, Iowa Census lists Sarah and John, along with: Sherman, Elizabeth, Samuel, Hattie[10]
  • June 04, 1894, John had a wooden leg--lost his leg in Altoona when it was run over by a train[11]

He was brought to DesMoines and taken to Cottage Hospital. [Family legend is that he got on the wrong train and when he discovered that he wasn't headed to Shelby, he jumped off.][13]
  • The 1900 Federal Census has Sarah and John living with son Samuel in Township 28, Peoria, Indian Territory[14]

  • A 1889 Atlas of Pleasant Valley shows a number of Walker plots: J Walker, J Walker, J L Walker, H A Walker, Walker. (User:Jim.lindstrom: I haven't yet tried to determine whether any of these plots belongs to John Samual Walker.)

Other notes:

  • Son Sherman's wife Mary was "a full blooded Indian."[18]
  • Jim (Opfell?) also has Anna Walker b 1869 died 1895 on this listing of children. But he says "We do not know who Anna's parents are, she is listed next to Wallace W. Walker in record. She is not listed with the family in 1880." So I haven't listed her here.[19]
  • There are three Walker children born after the group in the L.T.,IA Book. Jim has them as Elma, Elmer and ? Child Walker.[20]
