    1. [Wyandotte County] Mr. R. I WALDEN d. 10 June 1917 - Kansas City, MO
    2. John O'Brien
    3. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, June 11, 1917 FIND BODIES OF TWO MEN. Two men were found dead within two blocks of each other early Sunday morning. No clew to the identity of one body could be found. Not far away, R. I. WALDEN, a hot tamale vendor, lay where he had been dragged behind a signboard at Twenty-fifth Street and Southwest Boulevard. His money was gone and his tamale wagon had been rifled. But the coroner's jury decided his death was due to heart and kidney trouble and whisky, as the robbery could have been committed after his death. He was taken to John J. Sheehan's undertaking rooms. WALDEN was a former railroad employee, and held a union card. However, about a week ago he was held up and this card taken from him. His wife in Memphis has been notified of his death. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
