Biographical History
Courtney Meade Walker, fur trapper and missionary worker, was born on April 14, 1812 in Nicholasville, Kentucky. He journeyed to Oregon in 1834 with Methodist missionary Jason Lee and assisted with the establishment of the Willamette Mission. The following year he entered the fur trade as an employee of Nathaniel Wyeth's Columbia River Fishing and Trading Company, serving as the clerk at Fort William on Sauvie Island. Following the collapse of Wyeth's operation, Walker entered the service of the Hudson's Bay Company for several years, including two years stationed at Fort Hall. He eventually moved to Tillamook County, where he was elected county clerk. Walker died near his homestead outside Blaine, Oregon in 1887.
