CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED 



Ludvig Walker's Residence, on the Red River, Kurtz Township 



Walker farm is 100, and corn and tame 

 hay are raised as well as grain. 



Mr. Walker was a member of the 

 town board when Kurtz and Holy 

 Cross were one municipality, and was 

 one of the leaders in the movement to 

 organize his home township. He was 

 also a member of the school board 

 when Kurtz township was included in 

 the Moorhead district. After the dis- 

 trict was divided he continued as a 

 member of the local board until the 



consolidated district at Rustad was 

 formed. Mr. Walker has other inter- 

 ests besides farming and among them 

 is a block of the stock of the First 

 State Bank of Moorhead. 



Not many years ago there existed 

 anything but friendly relations be- 

 tween the farmers and bankers. Now 

 all this is changed and the farmers are 

 among the leading stockholders of the 

 banks of the county.
