Cyclopedia of Tasmania: Mr James Walter's estate had an area of 287 acres, 10 of which were down in orchard, the principal productions being apples, pears, and small fruits. He also kept a very good strain of cattle of various breeds. Walter was born at Wattle Grove in February 1852, and was the eldest son of James Henry Walter, who came to Tasmania in 1838 from Lincolnshire, where he was born in 1819, and brought up to farming pursuits. On arriving in the colony he was for some years engaged seafaring in a vessel belonging to Lady Franklin.

Henry James Walter was instructed in farming on his father's property, and on his father's death in 1892, he took over the management of the estate. He was married to Sarah Eleanor Bingham, a native of Forcett, and had a family of two sons and three daughters. Although seventy-five years of age, his mother, Mrs. J. H . Walter née Susan Garth, a native of Hobart, was enjoying fairly good health as of 1900. The Wattle Grove Post Office was carried on at her residence by her daughter, Ethel Marion Walter.

Mr J. H. Walter died on the 16th July, 1892. He had been suffering from defective eyesight and consequently met with an unfortunate accident, which culminated in death at the ripe old age of seventy-three years - a colonist of fifty-four years' standing - left a widow and several bereaved ones to mourn their loss. Walter was one of those persons who, however respected and honoured in his own generation, might have been little known to posterity had not peculiar circumstances obliged him to act an important and conspicuous part at memorable periods, and thus inseparably mix his name with all the events that appertained to the welfare and prosperity of the Huon district, notably Wattle Grove and Port Cygnet.

A true and devoted son of the Church, like his generation before him, his open-handed hospitality to all comers, and his modesty of deportment, caused his genial face to be much missed. His mortal remains were interred in the Church of England cemetery at Port Cygnet on the 20th. The young men of the district, as a special mark of reverence and esteem, carried the coffin to its last resting-place, from his late residence, Wattle Grove, a distance of nearly five miles; and there followed a long procession of relatives, friends and residents.

The Rev. W. M. Hurburgh officiated the church, and at the grave. Walter arrived in the colony with his father, George Walter, catechist and religious instructor, 1838, and for a period travelled with Sir John Franklin. He afterwards settled down to orchard and pastoral pursuits. The Rev. James Walter, his grandfather, was, up to the date of his decease, Vicar of Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. He married a daughter of the Rev. R. Sharpe, Vicar of New Romney, Kent, and wrote an elaborate and comprehensive history of England.

The deceased was a nephew to Rev. Henry Walker, B.D., F. R. S., Rector of Halisbury Bryan, Professor of Natural Philosophy, and chaplain to the Duke of Northumberland. He survived his brother, George Waler, surgeon, M.I., only a few years. An extract from Athenœ Oxonieses records the following: - "In a recess on the north side of Wolvercote Church, Oxon., is an elegant monument of ancestry of Sir John Walter. His effigy, life-size, dressed in his robes and lying between his first and second wife, his and their arms depicted on the top of the tomb, his three sons kneeling at his feet, and his three daughters at his head. In the same recess on the north wall is a bust, with this inscription: 'Here lieth the body of David Walter, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Groom of the bed chamber of King Charles the Second, and Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, which office His Majesty gave him as a reward for great valour and loyalty shown in the service of his father, of glorious memory, during the Civil Wars. Colonel David Walter distinguished himself in an attack on the Round Heads, who were located in the town of Thame, strongly barricaded at every avenue, in which they were driven from the town and several taken prisoners.'"
