Obituary, The San Mateo Enterprise
SAN MATEO COUNTY PIONEER DEAD
Hiram W. Walker, father of Attorney H. W. Walker and Mrs. Charles Gould Jr. of Redwood City and Mrs. B. A. Gamble of Fruitvale, passed away at the Florence Ward hospital, San Francisco, Monday evening after an illness extending over several months.
Mr. Walker was one of the earliest settlers in this county. He was born in Portland, Maine, in 1836, and came to California in the early sixties, settling at Belmont and afterward moving to San Mateo, where he engaged in the manufacture of bricks. He served as a supervisor from the second district for eight years.
In 1880, having received the appointment of sheriff and tax collector, Mr. Walker moved to Redwood City, where he had made his home since. When the Spring Valley Water company was constructing its big reservoir at Searsville, Mr. Walker was placed in charge of the work.
The funeral services were held in the Episcopal church in Redwood City at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Many old friends attended the body to Union Cemetery where it was laid to rest.
