His parents were Jacob J., and Plezzy (Alcott) Walter, the former a native of Pennsylvania, the latter of Ohio. The family came to Clayton County when our subject was about ten years old and settled in what is now Mallory Township. Ten years later they removed to Elk Township, where James S. was married on January 26, 1858 to Mary, daughter of George and Margaret (Kahel) Radabach. She is a native of Pennsylvania. Of eleven children born of this union, ten are living - Jacob M., who married Cora Wolidge, Hannah E, wife of John Dutton; James S., William S., Margaret E., Earnest M., Aaron, Lilly M., Amos R. and Jesse H.
