ROBERT S. WALTERS, farmer and teacher, was born in Adams Town-
ship, Morgan Co., Ind., March 5, 1850, and is the youngest of seven
children born to Richard and Frances (Asher) Walters, natives of Clay
County, Ky., and of Welsh descent.  Richard Walters received his early
education in his native State.  At the age of eighteen years, in 1823, he 
emigrated with his parents to Owen County, Ind., where he was first mar-
ried to Miss Susan Brasier, who bore him two children;  after her death he 
was married, in the same county, to the mother of our subject.  In about
1835, he came to Adams Township, Morgan Co., Ind., where he entered
240 acres of wild land, and improved a farm, upon which he resided until
his death, which occurred April 13, 1871, in his sixty-fifth year;  both were
members of the Baptist Church.  His wife died September 11, 1873, aged
sixty-six.  Robert S. Walters, the subject, received a good common school
education, and has taught during the winter season in his native township
and county for the past fourteen years.  He has always resided on the old
homestead, a part of which he now owns and cultivates.  He was married,
April 12, 1874, to Miss Mary C. Patrick, a native of Adams Township,
Morgan Co., Ind.  Three children have been born to them, only one of 
whom, an infant, not named, is now living.  Mr. Walters is a member of
Eminence Lodge, No. 440, A., F. & A. M.  In politics, he is a Democrat.
