Dr. Plympton Ayers Walling was born January 1, 1850, in Warren County Pennsylvania. His father, Asaph Walling, was born in New York and his mother, Ann Negus, was born in Pennsylvania. His wife, Rosaline E. Kennedy, was born in
August 1850 in Pennsylvania. Her mother was born in New York. He married Rosie
August 11,1875, in Corry Pennsylvania. He received his M.D. degree from the
University of Buffalo N.Y. in 1876 and practiced medicine in Clymer New York from 1876 until the spring of 1882, when he moved to Park Rapids. He was the first doctor to reside in Park Rapids, and lived on the southwest corner of 1st and Park Streets. He served as county coroner from May 19, 1883, until November 23 that year and again from January 1893 until January 1895. In January 1885 Dr. Walling established a weather service in Park Rapids with Instruments provided by the federal government and made reports without pay for about 11 years before it was made a corn and wheat reporting station and a small payment was authorized. This reporting has been continuous since 1885 and copies of the reports are on file in Park Rapids, Minneapolis, and Washington D.C.. Dr. Walling was on the school board in 1887, and was active in every civic improvement. In 1892 his new office In Park Rapids was valued at $600.00. In May 1885 Sam Churchill enumerated the Wallings 35th in Park Rapids. On June 8, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated the Wallings 97th in Park Rapids. He opened a drug store In 1898. Doctor Walling enjoyed writing in verse and I remember from childhood a stanza from one of his poems, "I have lived in Park Rapids and watched how it grew on the banks of the Fishhook with the heavenly hue" Doctor Walling loved his community and had a generous sense of humor, especially with children. In January 1900 he could be reached by phone at his office and drug store by asking the operator for "80" and at home by asking for 116.11.
Dr. Walling had three children: Jason Marion, was born in 1878 or 1879 in New York. In 1895 Jason M. Walling was a teacher in the public school; Ivan Elmer,was born November 19, 1885 in Hubbard County; Iva, was born July 8,1881,
in Columbus, Pennsylvania. Iva was a member of the first class, four strong, to graduate from Park Rapids High School, in 1900. Iva first married Herbert W. Cutler in 1904 and he died in 1918. Iva married Joseph Vacek second, and he died in 1956. She married John W. Hill third, on April 7, 1963, and Iva died with him in an auto accident near the Assembly Grounds on October 29, 1969. Iva and had many momentos of her father,including a velvet-lined sterling tray for his detachable white collars. Another momento was a Russian Orthodox Icon, now in the county museum, given them by former chairman Sloan of General Motors. Iva was a member of Riverside Methodist Church, Eastern Star, and P.E.O.. T. K. Walling was present at the first meeting of the Todd Township upervisors, March 18, 1884.
