Later, he would be sent on a mission to Great Britain from 1863 to 1865, sent to preside over the Scottish Mission in 1864. Later filled two missions to the Northern States. Served as a bishop and president of the high priest quorum of the Utah and Alpine Stakes. His grandson, James Henson Walker, taught in Pleasant Grove schools for fifteen years.
