Stevens Point Daily Journal (Stevens Point, Wis.) Saturday, 22 Mar. 1884; transcribed by Marla Zwakman

Mrs. Gratia K. Walker breathed her last at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. William L. Arnott, in the town of Stockton, on Friday of last week. The funeral took place at the Episcopal church in this city, Rev. W. H. Watts officiating, last Monday noon. And thus was laid away another of Portage County's early settlers,—that hardy band of pioneer men and women whose ranks are now so rapidly melting awav. Mrs. Walker was a native of Marlborough, Vermont, at which place she was born March 3, 1854, but afterwards removed with her family to Bath, Steuben County, New York. In 1849 her husband died, and in 1856 she removed with her children to the town of Plover, and with the exception of about a year and nine months, spent with her eldest daughter, Mrs. A. B. Daniels in Georgia, has lived here ever since. She was the mother of nine children, three of whom are dead. The survivors are Mrs. Henry Curran and Mrs. Charles Beach of this city, Mrs. W. L. Arnott of Stockton, Mrs. Daniels, now a resident of Georgia, and James W. and Frank K. of Plover. She was
kind and amiable to all, but a woman of strength of character, and great will force, and retained her faculties to a remarkable degree up to about five weeks prior to her death, in September, 1882, she had a severe illness, since which time she had been treading very closely upon the borders of the hereafter. During this period she had not been able to rise from her chair or walk without assistance, but at all times her declining years have been made as cheerful as possible by her children residing in this county. The most of her time for the past fifteen years or so had been spent with Mrs. Curran, with occasional visits among her other children.
