Looking for information about Charles WALKER and his family who lived for a while in Will
County, Illinois and Whitley County, Indiana.
Originally Charles WALKER was born abt 1846 in Will County, Illinois. His parents were
Jonas WALKER (b. 1817 in Massachusetts) and Paulina Harriet JUDD (b. 1823 in Indiana). His
wife, Florina, was born abt 1855 in Indiana but no specific place is known. Florina's
maiden name is also unknown. Her first name is sometimes recorded as Florina, Florine, or
Florence.
The 1910 U.S. Federal Census shows Charles and Florina living in South Whitley, Whitley
Co., Indiana.
Charles died 11 Oct 1917 in Whitley Co., Indiana.
Florina is still living in Whitley County in the 1930 U.S. Federal Census but I
haven't been able to find her in the 1920 U.S. Federal Census. She most likely died in
the 1930s but the exact year is not known.
Both Charles and Florina are buried in South Whitley Cemetery, South Whitley, Whitley Co.,
Indiana. Their tombstones are listed on a website
<
http://genealogy.whitleynet.org/cem09.htm> which states the following facts:
"Walker, Charles born 1846 died 1917 spouse Florence -- South Whitley V-5-15"
"Walker, Florence born 1855 died 19?? spouse Charles -- South Whitley V-5-15-2"
Charles and Florina had at least one child -- a daughter named Hattie WALKER. She married
Charles R. RIVETT on 23 Mar 1893 in Will Co., Illinois.
Hattie and Charles had at least two children:
Charles G. RIVETT (born 2 Feb 1894; died May 1972 in DuPage Co., Illinois). In December
1913, he married Lena B. JENKINS, the daughter of Irving JENKINS of Whitley Co., Indiana.
Erwin RIVETT (born 1895; died 1924). He is buried in South Whitley Cemetery, South
Whitley, Whitley, Indiana. He may have wed Pearl COBLE.
I am looking for any information about these individuals. I would particularly like
specific dates and places for Charles and Florina WALKER, their children, and
grandchildren. If you have some information to share, I would appreciate you contacting
me.
Thank you for your help.
Mary S. Scott
