WALTERS, GEORGE ABSALOM
George Absalom Walters has for more than twenty years been one of the leaders of the bar of central Texas, and at the same time has labored for the benefit of San Saba, the city which has been so long his home and with whose interests he has been thoroughly identified. He is known prominently and well as a lawyer, real estate dealer, writer of abstracts, as the president of the San Saba Chamber of Commerce and as a progressive citizen. He is the son of G. W. Walters, who was born in Hamilton county, Tennessee, and came with his family to Austin, Texas, in 1880, but later moved from that city to San Marcos and from there came to San Saba in 1884. G. W. Walters and his wife are yet residents of this city, and the father and son are associated together in business.
George Absalom Walters received his educational training mainly in Coronal Institute at San Marcos and taking up educational work he taught in the North Texas Female College at Sherman and for one year in Belle Plaine College. In the meantime he had studied law, and in 1887 was admitted to the bar at San Saba, and not long afterward was elected the attorney of San Saba county and served in the office for six years. Mr. Walters is a successful lawyer, and has a large law library that is noted for its practical working value. He is also engaged quite extensively in the real estate and abstract business, having a complete set of abstract records that are of increasing importance with the present rapid development of San Saba county. He is one of the city's most progressive and enterprising citizens, and the president of its Chamber of Commerce, an organization which took the lead in the preliminaries leading up to the securing of the Santa Fe Railroad for San Saba. The construction work on this road was begun late in the year of 1909. He is a member of the Methodist church and of the Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias fraternities.
Mr. and Mrs. Walters have six children: George Clayton, Fairy Belle, John Harris, George A., Minnie Elizabeth and Clarence M. Source: A History of Central and Western Texas, Vol 1, Captain B. B. Paddock,The Lewis Publishing Company, New York, 1911)
