  Nellie May Walker with Christmas cards

Nellie was the granddaughter of early Oregon missionaries Elkanah and Mary Richardson Walker. In Nellie's later life, she became known as one of the oldest living residents of Forest Grove and gave talks on early local history. This photograph was likely taken in the 1970s.

  Member of the Walker Family

  A portrait of a member of one of the Walker families of Forest Grove, Oregon. It is in carte-de-visite format, probably dating from the 1870s or 1880s. There were two prominent Walker families and it is unclear which of the two this man belonged to. Based on contextual clues, this man was probably one of the "musical" Walkers, related to the shoemaker and fiddler Samuel A. T. Walker.
