• Notes

  Lillian Mateer attended Hollidaysburg Seminary near Altoona Pennsylvania, before she went with her brother Robert in 1881 as a missionary teacher to China; she served at her brother Calvin's school in Tengchow until her marriage to Mr. Walker, who was a Baptist missionary; in 1885 the failure of her husband's health compelled their return to the United States. In 1893 she was living in Kirksville, Missouri. Rev. W. S. Walker was living on 25 April 1942 when he officiated at the marriage of a granddaughter, Lillian Sherwood Walker, to Benjamin Austin Ballard. ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 114.
