Life

Martha Valli McKinney, who went by her middle name, was born in Alabama on 21 March 1866, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 She was the youngest of the ten children the tree names for Eli Harris McKinney and Martha Holland Willingham, and the federal census of 1870 listed her as "M V McKinney" in her father's household at Socapatoy, Coosa County, Alabama, where his initial is indexed as "N."2 On 8 March 1883 M. V. McKinney married George Walden, George Westley Walden, in Coosa County.3 Her husband was a half-brother of William Walker Walden, who had married her elder sister Emma Louise in 1875, so that two McKinney sisters married two Walden half-brothers.4 The tree names one son, Soloman Westley Walden (1889–1964), whose Texas death record names his mother as "Valie McKinney."5 By 1900 the family was in Texas, where the census listed "Valley Walden" in George Walden's household in Justice Precinct 1 of Coryell County, and in 1920 Martha V. Walden and her husband were living in their son's household in the fifth ward of Houston, Harris County.6 Her husband died in November 1929.7 She died at Houston on 3 November 1936, indexed as Marthia Vallie Walden, and the tree gives her burial at Woodland Cemetery, Rosebud, Falls County, Texas, where her husband is also buried.8
