Note: Walker Family Bible reads "David C. Walker was borne June the 15th 1862"
(I originally thought this said January 15th but it appears to have been corrected to June
and that matches with the 1900 census and the gravestone date)

1870 US Census, Crowmwell Township, Post Office : Orbisonia, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, Roll 1349 Book 1, page 564-A, genealogy.com image # 13 of 30 for Cromwell Twp, Dwelling # 86, family # 90, enumerated Aug 22, 1870.
John Walker,(head), age 70, occ: laborer, value of real estate $50, value of personal estate $200, born in PA,
Eliza A.,(wife), age 47, occ: keeping house, born in PA, could not read or write,

David,(son), age 8, at school, born in PA, attended school,
Mary, (daughter?), age 3, born in PA,
Bertha E., (daughter?), age 1/12, born in PA, born in May
(Note: If John's age is correct here, he would have been born about 1800 not 1795 as the Bible states
Bartin is probably James B. D. Walker.
the 2 youngest girls, Mary and Bertha E. apparently died before 1880. There is no entry for either their births nor their deaths in the family Bible or they may have been granddaughters (parents unknown). The 1870 census did not record relationships. Eliza at 47 would have been a bit old to have had a 1 month old or even a 3 year old child.
If they had been grandchildren, they may not have died but may be listed with a parent in 1880 or later
The handwriting of this enumerator is quite neat and clear)

none of the above people had any listed occupation,
all were shown as born in PA with both parents also born in PA
---------------------------------
Note: The blank occupations and the PA birth locations for all and the lack of a name for the baby make me suspect that the data was supplied by a neighbor or by Lilly and that the missing (or incorrect) data was unknown to the person who supplied the data.
