1900[?] HISTORY: Illustrated Sketch Book and Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County, page 351: "George W Walther, dealer in furniture and undertker, 106 West High Street, Jefferson City, is a son of Squire Albert Walther, a native of Bavaria, Germany, who immigrated to America in 1839 and settled on farm in Cole County, from which place he removed to Jefferson City in 1866. Here he engaged in the grocery business two years, when he disposted of his interest and returned to his farm, where he died April 15, 1879.
The subject of this sketch was born on the farm, eight miles east of Jefferson City, February 8, 1853. His early education was in the neighboring schools. Coming with his father to Jefferson City, in 1866, he finished his eduation in the public schools of this city. Except for the few years his father lived in Jefferson City, he was continuously with him on the farm until twenty-seven years of age, a good portion of the time managing the business, and was successful in growing wheat and potatoes, and also in raising stock.
In 1880 he purchased the old homestead, which he continuted to run successfully until August, 1895, when he removed to Jefferson City, and engaged in his present business, which he has continued ever since. He was united in marriage October 27, 1881, to Miss Louise, daughter of Fred Guenther, a prominant farmer of Morgan County, Mo. To this union has been born one child, a daughter, Hilda Elizabeth, who is now at home. In the fall of 1894 Mr Walther was the nominee of the Republican party for the office of Collector of Cole County but defeated, but he was defeated by Thomas Mahan, the Democratic nominee, by a small majority. He is a member of Evangelical Central church, of the IOOF, and brotherhood of Elks, a most worthy citizen, who is highly esteemed by all who knew him intimately."
