- HIRAM FERIS WALKER and his wife MARY M. GORDON are buried in San Saba City Cemetery. He was a Mason. In the "HISTORY of VERNON COUNTY, MISSOURI," published by Brown & Co.
in 1887, "Hiram F. Walker, an old and prominent resident, for whom the town was named, and Wm. Leslie were the original owners of the land in the town of Walker." Also quoting: "Walker township is almost entirely underlaid with coal at a shallow depth from the surface, in most places at from two to four feet. The vein is generally three feet in thickness, and reached by "stripping."
THE SAN SABA COUNTY NEWS, p.4, Vol. XXXII, #13, 29 March 1906: "Mr. H. F. Walker died at 7:05 o'clock Thursday evening, the 22nd, at the home of his son, P.H. Walker. He had been sick several weeks. Rev. A. L. Scarborough conducted services at the home at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, after which the Masons took charge, opened the ceremony, marched to the grave and there with the grand honors of the Order, laid the body to rest. Mr. Walker was born in LaFayette County, MO., 77 years ago. The children who survive him are S. W., W. W., and P. H. Walker and Mrs. Lucy Doran, San Saba. Mrs. Joe T. Williams, Brady, and G. G. Walker, Richmond, California." (Death Certificate for Hiram Farris Walker, #50456 Texas State Department of Health). He was the son of Samuel Wilcoxson Walker and Nancy Farris, and through the WILCOXSON line, we are related to DANIEL BOONE and wife REBECCA.
HIRAM WALKER and MARY M. GORDON are great, great grandparents to Barbara Ballard.
In 1850 Missouri census, HIRAM was in Lafayette Co., MO.
HIRAM was a rancher and a blacksmith; was a Methodist by religion. He and family came to San Saba County, TX, in early 1870's and served as County Commissioner as did all of his sons. "Unusual in the life of the family is the fact that the father and all four sons served as county commissioners for San Saba County.
After reaching manhood the sons were successfully engaged in the livestock business in San Saba County. They and members of their families, as well as the families of the sisters, have meant much to the county and city of their adoption."
