John and Martha Davis Walkup spent their last years in Ladoga, south of the school building, and Joe Davis lived with them. I drove a horse and buggy to school at Ladoga, and as they lived near the school and had a nice barn, I kept the horse and buggy in their barn. Every morning and every evening, either Mr. Walkup or Mr. Davis would help unhitch or hitch our horse. On the way to school one morning, two girls who rode with me, and me, were trying to say a line from a poem reverently and not sound as if we were swearing! "Oh, My God! Is Joe dead?" We had repeated it over and o- ver, and when we arrived at the barn, Mr. Davis met us, and said, "Girls, did you know Mr. Walkup was dead?" and to us this seemed tragically funny, but we never did explain to Mr.
why we thought this such a funny remark. As the saying goes, "kids will be kids".

Walkup born 1830 Va. married William Finley Meek; Benja- min Franklin Walkup, born Parke County 1834 ? married Jane Conner, daughter of Smith and Susan Hardesty Conner in 1858.
