    Notes:

    I believe this was written by David Boone. Wilma Walker's son.

    Leonard was my grandfather. He was in construction. He had heavy equipment to build roads, bridges and put in basements and put up buildings I spent many summers with him and my grandmother Caya ( Clara Jones) in Hanover. Loved to go to Hanover Beach.
    Leonard's father loved to have the latest machinery, but couldn't fix them when they broke. Leonard was good a fixing things. He loved steam engines. He had tractor steam engines and I remember driving a jeep that had a steam engine in the back with a big boiler and smoke stack around Hanover. He, also, had a small paddle wheel steam boat. Kind of a miniature of the big beautiful Ohio River Steam Boats.
    Leonard helped put boats in the water in Madison when they had their annual Boat Races. Madison had one of the fastest big speed boats around in the country. Lining along the Ohio was something he really loved and he left me with many wonderful memories along the river in Indiana.

    Memorial Service For John Taylor Walker ( Written by Shannon Clarkson, John's niece)
    February 19, 1990
    Hanover, Indiana

    John Taylor Walker was born in 1906, the fourth son and fifth child born to Jennetta Morton McNeel and William Wade Walker. He is the last of the six children to die. He grew up on his parent's farm, helping with the farming and with his Father's gravel pit. He and his brothers became acquainted with mechanical things early on. Their father loved to buy the latest mechanical wonders but when they broke, he hadn't a clue how to fix them.. it was up to Neel, Leonard, Shannon and John to keep things running. This early experience with machines stayed with all of them.. but especially Leonard and John, who spent their lives operating big machinery..steam shovels and bull dozers and even steam engines.

    The boys all worked hard for their father, helping him build many roads around Hanover and throughout Jefferson County. But they found time to have a little fun, too. My dad always told the story of an afternoon when he and John decided to go squirrel hunting. They finally found one and chased it up a big hollow tree on the hillside behind the house. When it wouldn't come out they decided to fire the shotgun up the trunk. Seconds later, the tree caught on fire and the whole hillside would have gone up in flames if a sudden rainstorm hadn't occurred.

    A strong influence in the Walker home was the Presbyterian Church, or should I say churches, since they attended three, Bethel, Carmel an finally Hanover. John and his wife Jean were very active in their church in Vincennes where Hohn served as an elder, sang in the choir and was the chief of transportation for anyone who needed groceries or a ride to church. Being a faithful Christian didn't mean he didn't have a temper, though. Mabel Walker told me how John would get so mad at my mother.. who was no doubt teasing him.. that he would in exasperation say "Dod dammit, Libby!" and its probably just as well that we not mention all the BB gun stories.

    Suffice it to say John enjoyed life, and enjoyed his family. He and Jean were married for 65 years and raised two daughters, Lois and Helen and have always taken a great interest in the lives of their grandchildren, Dee Ann, Linda and John and their children, Michael, Angela, Amy, Matthew, Stacy and Eric.

    His love of life will stay with all of us as we remember him and his love for us all.
