• Notes

  Between five and six o'clock on Monday evening Isaac Walker, an old and well-known citizen of Gap, died at his residence there. For a long time Mr. Walker had been in feeble health, and his death was therefore no unexpected. Mr. Walker was born January 24, 1808, in Sadsbury township, and in early life learned the trade of a tanner. For many years he carried on the manufacture of leather in Sadsbury township, and during his residence in that township he erected a number of buildings and founded the village of Smyrna. In 1839 he was appointed to the charge of the Gap division of the Philadelphia and Columbia railroad by Governor Porter, which position he held for a period of five years. In 1847 he purchased the farm of his ancestors, near Gap, where he moved and engaged in farming. Mr. Walker was married in 1831 to Eliza Ann Brook, of Sadsbury, who died about three years ago. The surviving children are James M. Walker, practicing attorney at the Lancaster Bar; Esther, Jane, Sarah, Frances, wife of Henry B. Hershey; Isaac L. Walker, Anna Maria and Mary Louisa. Mrs. Walker has always been an active energetic man, both mentally and physically. in politics he was a Democrat, and the party loses an earnest and enthusiastic supporter by the death of this estimable man.
