Dr. Walker made nine trips to New Orleans on flatboats that were loaded with flour and meat, and he walked home twice from New Orleans. He and Eliza Hite were married at Mt. Tabor in 1832. To them nice children were born, six of whom are living. Dr. Walker has lived at his present home for sixty-two years. He maintained a deer park about the homestead for some years. When Louisville was a straggling town, Dr. Walker camped in what is now Market street, with a swamp, bullfrogs and mosquitoes about him.
