A few of these lovely old timepieces still survive and lend charm and dignity to well-furnished homes. About 1811, he established a branch business in the village of Norway. In the history of that area, he is spoken of as "the well-known jeweler of Paris Hill and Norway Village." In Norway, the shop was in an upper room of the Hathaway Building. In Paris, it was across the street from the family residence of Governor Albion E. Parris. J. Parris, replying to an inquiry about Simeon, he said, "As a boy, I was more interested in early apples, squirrels and snow forts than in heredity, but I do remember Mr. Walton as a kindly old gentleman with glasses who rang our curfew. Standing in front of his shop was a large clock as a business advertisement. , whose age is given as 25, worked in the shop and may have been an apprentice.

His sheep mark was a swallowtail in the right ear. In 1816 snow fell every month of the year. On 7 Jun his neighbor rode horseback to the next town and reported, "I came very near freezing to death. It was so cold it killed the birds. English sparrows, frozen stiff, were picked up along the road." Taxes were high that year and in 1817 corn sold for 2.00 a bushel, wheat for 2.50 and 3.00. of office on 20 Aug 1833, the day the first issue of the Oxford Democrat came off the press.

There were quilting bees, husking bees, and many others that afforded good food, fun, and entertainment, as well as work. But the "piling bees" were different and provided an exciting means of getting a job done. When a neighbor had 10 or 20 acres cleared, a piling bee was called, and families gathered for the fun. Men and boys laid the trees and brush in long rows and put torches to them. After the first burning, the remainder of the charred logs were pushed into piles for a second burning. The grotesque, smoke-blackened faces of the burners created much merriment for all.
