Linn Clan Entry on the Walkers[3]

John Walker, an Ohio farmer, was married to Sarah Burnett, who was three-fourths American Indian. John's three sons: Samuel, James, and Joseph, emigrated to Johnson County, Iowa from Ohio in 1837. Their father followed his sons in 1841. Samuel Walker and his wife, Elizabeth Stover, were members of very respected families which were community leaders in the early pioneer days of Iowa. Their son John S. Walker, married Sarah Woodruff. John and Sarah and their two daughters, Libbie and Hattie, moved to western Iowa and thence to the silver mines of Jefferson City, Montana. Elizabeth Stover Walker, having lost her husband, Samuel, in 1852, accompanied them. Elizabeth died on 29 July 1888 in Jefferson City. The walker family returned to Iowa by wagon, as they had gone. They settled near Shelby, Iowa, where Libbie married Frank B. Linn. The children of Libbie and Frank were 3/64ths American Indian.

Jill Marie Linn's Memory of Frank and Libby[4]

Grandma Linn I only knew briefly. The memories I have are visiting her in a home (kind of like a nursing home) in Avoca. I was maybe 4 or 5 at the time. I remember she had very thin skin and really big veins.........I would sit on her lap and run my fingers up and down her soft hands. She was a small woman at that time in her life.

Grandpa Linn died before my mom and dad even got married. I'm not sure if my mom met him or maybe it was shortly after they met that he passed away. You know lots of stories about him....I remember lots of stories too, but didn't meet him. He sounded very tall, big, physically strong and character-strong. A man of high morals and principals.
