The deceased was a former resident of Winghani where for 22 years he was in the furniture business before moving to Grand Bend. He was th© first man to drive an automobile into this pop­ ular resort and it was then he saw its possibilities. Being a man of vision he purchased the property ad­ joining the lake which was then in its natural state and from it he has developed one of the most beautiful spots that can be found along the lake shore. He began first by the building of roads through the pro­ perty and the selling and erecting of summer homes along the lake front. Some of these summer homes are attractive, surrounded by magnificent flower gardens in a magnificent setting. Later Mr. Walkei’ purchased a 100-acre farm across the road from the property and this was'laid out and convert­ ed into a fine golf course. On a hill commanding a splendid view of the course a large log club-house of rustic design was built. Later a dining hall with splendid accommo­ dation, erected along the same rus­ tic lines, was built adjoining the club house. Rustic cabins for the accommodation of his guests were also built in close proximity and these have been added to each year. The buildings have been surrounded with a beautiful rockery, the flowers of which add a ,pleasjng color to the surroundings. Each” year his pat­ ronage has increased, his guests eomling from -all the states of the Union to the south and his efforts have gone a long way in making Grand Bend the popular resort that it is today, During th© past year Mr. Walker has not enjoyed the best Of health and the management has largely fallen to his son Fred.
