Nan Walters was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Harm Walters. He was born in Germany. The family came to this country about 70 years ago and located on a farm in Pleasant Valley township where they continued to live. There were five sons and three daughters in the family. Two sons and two daughters survive. They are, Harm of Buffalo Center and Eilert, of Wellsburg. The surviving daughters are Mrs. John Luchtenberg and Dora Walters, Pleasant Valley township.

Nan and his brother Dick never married. They were together all of their lives. Most of their life they resided on a small place south of Buck Grove. For many years the two brothers operated a threshing machine and everyone in the northwest part of the county knew them.
