Walker, J.B. (1826 - 7 JUL 1886)

Died, in Jefferson, Wis., Mr. J. B. Walker, on Wednesday, July 7, 1886, at the age of 60 years.

Mr. Walker was the father of Mrs. I. T. Carr, of this city (Neillsville, Clark County). His death was caused by falling in a barn where he was engaged in putting up a horse hay fork. He seized with a fainting spell, owing to the intense heat where he was at work, and fell to the barn floor, about 30 feet, and was instantly killed. He was one of the oldest settlers of the county, a good citizen, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
