His grandfather, Asaph Walker, migrated from Buckingham county, Virginia, to Kentucky in 1782, casting his lot with the early settlers of Madison county. He participated in the Indian campaigns under Generals S.t. Clair and Wayne and remained a resident of Madison county until his death in 1815. Dr. Charles J. Walker studied medicine under his uncle, Dr. David Walker, a prominent physician of St. Louis, Missouri, and in 1822 was graduated from Transylvania University with a degree of M. D. He practiced in Richmond for more than a a half century and was classed with the foremost physicians of central Kentucky. He was chairman of the democratic county committee of Madison county for several years and in 1838 was elected to represent his district in the Kentucky assembly, afterward becoming a member of the state senate. He reached the age of seventy-nine years, passing away in Richmond in 1878. His wife, Nancy Embry, was born in Madison county in 1810 and died at Richmond in 1893. They were the parents of William E. Walker, who was born at Richmond in March, 1842, and completed his education in Transylvania College. He located at Richmond and shortly after his marriage moved to Garrard county. He was a successful agriculturist and owned a valuable estate of six hundred acres in the vicinity of Lancaster. A man of strong character and keen intellect, he was well equipped for leadership in thought and action. He was one of the influential democrats of central Kentucky and was the first candidate for county judge on that ticket to be elected in Garrard county after the close of the Civil war. He served for eight years, from 1882 until 1890, and in 1896 became a member of the state legislature. At the time when Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, was United States minister to Russia, Judge William E. Walker was for two years an attaché of the legation and resided in the city of St. Petersburg, now known as Petrograd. He was a zealous member of the Presbyterian Church, with which his wife, Dorcas (Leavell) Walker, was also affiliated. She was born in Garrard county in 1853 and died at Lancaster in 1909, while his demise occurred on the 31st of August, 1900. Mrs. Walker was a daughter of Lewis Y. Leavell, president of the First National Bank of Lancaster and a financier of high standing. Judge William E. Walker was the father of eight children, but the fourth died in infancy. Charles Jones, the second son, entered the employ of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company and was killed in an accident in Rockcastle county in 1903, when he was a young man of twenty-nine years. The others are: Lewis Leavell; Martha, the wife of George D. Robinson, who is engaged in farming in Garrard county; William E., who acted as secretary of the Lancaster Milling Company and went to France with the American Expeditionary Forces, also going to Germany with the Army of Occupation, after which he was stationed near San Antonio, Texas; Green Clay, who was editor and publisher of the Central Record, a Lancaster paper, and was later county attorney of Garrard county; Horace Lackey, an attorney for the Southern Railroad Company and a resident of Washington, D.

He taught school for one term in Lancaster and studied law under William O. Bradley, former United States senator. Judge Walker was admitted to the bar in August, 1894, and was association with his preceptor until Mr. Bradley was elected governor of Kentucky, when he succeeded to the latter’s important law business. Judge walker soon established an enviable reputation as a corporation lawyer, becoming attorney for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company and for the Citizens National Bank of Lancaster, of which he was also elected a director, and likewise took charge of the legal interests of other large firms. He was chosen county attorney in 1901, filling out an unexpired term, and on January 1, 1908, became city attorney of Lancaster. He acted in that capacity until August, 1910, when he was appointed by the governor of the state to fill a vacancy caused by the death of M. C. Sauffley, judge of the thirteenth judicial circuit, comprising Garrard, Boyle, Lincoln and Mercer counties. Judge Walker brought to the office an instinctive love of justice, breadth of mind and a thorough grasp of the law, and his rulings were strictly fair and impartial. He acted as a special judge with the Lyle will case at Winchester, Clark county, and while administering the legal affairs of the circuit rendered the first decision given by the courts relative to the taxation of liquors in storage. He remained on the bench until January, 1912, and was not a candidate for reelection. In 1915 he was the republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Kentucky and during the World war devoted much of his time to national service. He was chairman of the speakers’ bureau and in behalf of the various drives campaigned throughout Garrard and the surrounding counties. He is regarded as one of the foremost lawyers of this section of the state and draws his practice from a wide area. His offices are located in the Walker building, of which he is the owner, and he also has other valuable realty holdings in Lancaster, whose growth and improvements are matters in which he takes much personal pride. IN 1902 Judge Walker was married, in Garrard county, to Miss Eliza Jennings Lusk, whose father, William J. Lusk, was a prosperous farmer and an able lawyer, and her demise occurred in February, 1907. In April, 1909, at Lancaster, Judge Walker married Miss Grace Kinnaird, who passed away in 1910. She was a daughter of Robert Kinnaird, a successful banker and insurance broker and at one time mayor of Lancaster. Judge Walker’s third union was with Miss Flora Zeigler, to whom he was married December 3, 1911, in Covington, Kentucky. She was a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and passed away April 19, 195, leaving a son, Charles J. who was born July 23, 1913. On May 10, 1929 the Judge was married to Miss Ethyl Walter.

In 1908 he became one of the trustees of the University of Kentucky, receiving his appointment from Governor Wilson, and served on the board until 1915.

H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. (Paint Union Association). JOHN BORDERS was in the constitution of this fraternity, and was among the most active and useful laborers. He was born of Methodist parents, in Virginia, about 1792. While a small boy, he was brought by his parents to Johnson county Ky., where he was raised up in the mountainous wilderness. He professed conversion when young but hesitating as to what church he should join, he did not unite with any, for some years. At length he decided in favor of the Baptists, and was immersed by Samuel Hannah, for the fellowship of Georges Creek church, about the year 1827. He soon began to exercise in public prayer and exhortation, and was licensed to preach, about 1829. As he was uneducated and not especially gifted, he improved very slowly, but he was useful as an exhorter, in which capacity he labored about ten years. Meanwhile he established a good religious reputation, and gained the confidence and affection of the people. He was ordained to the ministry, about 1839, by Samuel Hannah and Elias Cazee. He was soon called to the care of Georges Creek church, to which he ministered many years. Among the churches he raised up, before and after he was ordained, were Silver Creek, Rockcastle, Hoods Fork, Toms Creek and Little Blain. To all of these, he ministered until they could procure pastors. In 1841, he succeeded Wm. Wells, both as preacher of the introductory sermon, and moderator of Paint Union Association. The latter position he filed nine successive years, and four years, at a later period. After a long and useful ministry, he died March 13th, 1879, aged eighty-seven years.
