Conrad Walters

Much respected, and still well remembered among early settlers, was the late Conrad Walters, whose name is also on record in another place as a member of the first Board of Commissioners for the county. Mr. Walters was a native of Pennsylvania, where he was born in 1794, from which State he came to Ohio in 1814, and learned the art of printing in Wilmington, Clinton county. After various removals he finally came to Mr. Pleasant, Iowa, in 1839, and from there to this county in October, 1844, and settled six miles south-east of Knoxville. Here he remained till a few years previous to his death, at which time, July 28, 1870, he resided in the city of Knoxville. His age was 77 years.
