Description

Genevieve Walker In 1894, newlyweds Genevieve and Harry Walker rode the train from Covington, Kentucky, to San Dimas, California, for their honeymoon. Arrangements were made for them to stay at least a year-perhaps longer-and Harry would superintend the planting and care of his father's newly purchased 1100-acre ranch. The Walkers settled into a six-room cottage, the first home built in San Dimas, originally for E.M. Marshall, an agent for the San Dimas Land Company. Even though the 1887 land boom had gone bust, San Dimas had blossomed to about 125 people. Over the next 60 years, the Walkers raised their family and prospered. Genevieve Walker began to research San Dimas history and to document local activity that would someday become history. She wrote hundreds of hand-written journal pages that described life, events, and people in San Dimes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Journals The Journals of Genevieve Walker sat safely in the archives of the San Dimas Historical Society for nearly 45 years. Then in 2010, Willa McClure began transcribing Walker's journals in order to make them available in digital form for researchers and interested community members. This year, 2016, marks the 50th anniversary of the San Dimas Historical Society and that seemed an ideal time to celebrate Genevieve Walker's work by publishing her journals. They appear in two volumes-Volume I covers local history until 1887, and Volume II from 1887 to 1939.
