    Notes:

    From photo copies of Carmel Church records owned by Wilma Walker:
    " Carmel June the 10th 1866. Baptized by Rev. Moses Arnot William Wade infant son of Hester Walker."

    "Dub Dub" He was also called Willie when he was a kid. He was raised on the Ohio river bottom near Hanover, Indiana. In 1873 waterway men came and made a deal with Willie's Dad for a place to set up Cooper's Bar light to guide the boat that ran at night. Willie was 7 years old then. His father appointed him assistant keeper of the light. It was something that could very well do despite his youth and the fact that the river bank, where the pole stood, was half a mile from the Walker home, for he had learned to ride horseback as soon as he could walk. His chore was to fill the lantern at the house, carry it horseback to the pole and without dismounting, hang it to the hook. The lantern served as a channel light but it also guided boats at night to Walker's Landing. Those where the great steamboat days on the Ohio River and many stopped at Walker's Landing. Some of them were; City of Cincinnati, City of Louisville, Nachez, Fleetwood, Guiding Star and the Chas. Morgan to name a few. For 70 years William Wade Walker tended Cooper's Bar light, seeing to it that it was ever kept burning, a guiding star, for the ships that passed in the night.
