The Tabor Beacon
28 February 1896
Walker, Mrs. John Sr. died at her home in Randolph Iowa Friday 21 Feb 1896 at 11 o'clock, aged 61 years 11 months 14 days.
Hannah A. Conklin was born in Orange County NY, 7 Mar 1834 and moved with her parents to Mercer Co OH where she was married to John Walker on 22 Jun 1851.
In 1865 they moved to Schuyler Co MO, and in 1868 they came to Fremont Co. and settled on a farm near Randolph where they lived until 2 years ago when they moved to town. 10 children blessed this union, 6 of whom are living and
were present when she passed away. She united with the M. E. Church in 1863. Her death was the result of an attack of bronchitis.
A few years ago Leland Smith of Tabor, Fremont County, Iowa, abstracted obituaries from the Tabor Beacon newspaper. Tabor is on the county line between Mills and Fremont County,
therefore the paper printed obituaries from both counties. These were later microfilmed by the LDS Church on microfilm #1491976.
