Andrew
Calvin Walker
was a doctor in Forkvale,
Norma, Caryville,
and elsewhere over the years and generated a number
of documents as well as received a number of advertisements
and such. Several known documents are included on this
page including two birth registrations. Unfortunately,
most of his records were destroyed many years ago, and
what is on this page is all that I know to exist.
Andrew's grandson, Robert Walker, son of Ruby, supplied
copies of these items.
Andrew practiced from about 1889 until the early 1920s
when illness, some sort of kidney problem, forced him
to stop practicing. He died in 1926.

other than what is posted on this page.

This is to certify that I have examined Geo.
Ives[?] and find him with Disease of Left Lung.
His Left Lung is Atrophied seems to be good [d]eal
smaller than the Right Lung. At times he spits
Blood &c. coughf [sic] especially at night
and I believe him incapacitated for manual labor
to the extend of at least ¾.
