           [218-219]

           GEORGE H. WALKER, member of the banking house of WALKER &
        SEELEY, at Bad Axe, was born May 30, 1852, in Ontario, Dominion of
        Canada.  He is the son of WILLIAM and JANETT (RAMAGE) WALKER, both
        natives of Scotland.  His father was a woolen manufacturer in
        Canada, and has now retired from business.  MR. WALKER attended
        Rockwood Academy for a number of years, after which he learned the
        trade of a harness-maker.  He came to Caro, Tuscola Co., in 1873,
        where he established himself and continued the management of his
        business at that place about eight years.  He bought real estate,
        and planted and sold it while there.  He also handled wagons and
        carriages in connection with his business. In the fall of 1881 he
        sold his business and entered the banking business of JOHN F.
        SEELEY, for the purpose of obtaining a practical knowledge of the
        business.  Jan. 4, 1883, he opened a banking house under the firm
        name of WALKER & SEELEY, of which he is now in charge. The firm has
        erected a fine brick building, trimmed with Ohio stone, two stories
        in height above basement, with two vaults, one in basement and one
        on first floor: size of building, 60 x 25 feet.  They have the
        latest improved Detroit burgler-proof safe, with time lock.  The
        house transacts a general real-estate and loaning business.  MR.
        WALKER owns wild and improved land in different parts of the
        county.
           He was married July 7, 1880, in Caro, to ADA L., daughter of
        AUGUSTUS and MARY E. HOWELL.  She was born May 7, 1858, in Ply-
        mouth, Wayne Co., Mich.  MR. WALKER is a member of the fraternity
        of Odd Fellows.
