From their son, Horace Walker's, bio in "The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912", Vol. 2 by Gaston, Joseph. Chicago, Clarke Publishing Co., 1912, page 21....
John and Jane (Stevenson) Walker, were both natives of Scotland and in their early youth came with their respective parents to the new world.
They were married in Canada and began their domestic life upon a farm there (Grey County, Ontario), but in 1877 crossed the border into the United States, arriving in Wallulu, Washington on the 26th of March and then proceeded to Weston, Oregon.
The previous year John Walker had made a trip to the Pacific Northwest and had selected a location. Subsequently the family home was established at Weston, in Umatilla County, Oregon.
John Walker purchased a farm on Dry Creek, there carrying on general agricultural pursuits until he removed to a farm on Butter Creek now in Morrow County, where he was extensively engaged in the stock business. At the time, however, Morrow still formed a part of Umatilla County, within the borders of which he continued to reside until his death, on the 12th of April, 1893, when he was sixty-five years of age. For about six years he had survived his wife, who passed away in 1887, aged sixty-five years.
They were both consistent members of the Presbyterian church and enjoyed the high regard of all with whom they came in contact.
