Surname: Walker
-------------------------
Looking for my John P. Walker b. in NY 1828.
I have the following information:
1861 He went to Carson and worked at the Overland Stage Company.
1862 He was at the Snug Saloon, West side of Carson near Sixth.
Here is his obit:
From the Northeastern Nevada Genealogical Society publication the
Chart
& Quill obit extract:
John P. Walker John P. Walker - died - 29 July 1898, buried in the Elko
Old City cemetery. Born 1828 in Rome N.Y.. in 1861 came to Carson & worked
for the Overland Stage Company. in 1862 moved to Jacobsville near Austin
[Nevada], to Lamoille Valley in 1865. elected sheriff of Lander Co., in
1868. Leaves a widow, 1 son, & 4 daughters. "May the old pioneer rest peacefully
beneath the sod of the county he helped to build."
Any help finding his siblings or parents in New York would be greatly appreciated,
