Walton, who is a prominent young attorney of the town and a member of the law firm of Weems, Walton & Cocke. Mr. Walton is a son of Judge R.K. Walton, and was born at Cameron, Ohio, on the 7th day of August, 1860. He moved with his parents to Clairington when quite young, where he attended the public schools until sufficiently educated to teach, when he engaged in that profession. A few years later he came to Woodsfield and served as deputy clerk of the Probate Court for six years, during his father's two terms as Probate Judge. In preparing for the practice of Law, Mr. Walton read with Hunter and Mallory at this place, and then attended law school at Cincinnati, graduating with high honors from that institution in 1886. Returning to this county he engaged in his chosed profession, and has succeeded in working up a good practice. As evidence of his worth and high standing in the community he has been elected Mayor of the town two times and has been twice appointed to fill vacancies in this office, making his service extend over a period of eight years, during which time he has given the very best of satisfaction. Mr. Walton was married in 1889 to Miss Laura Thornberry, eldest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. A.E. Thornberry, prominent citizens of this place, and owns a neat and nicely furnished home on Paull street.
