Life

Harris Solomon Walden was born in Alabama on 11 May 1876, a date the FamilySearch tree gives without an attached source, a son of William Walker Walden and Emma Louise McKinney.1 The federal census of 1880 lists him as Harris Walden in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of W. W. Walden at Crews, Coosa County, Alabama.2 On 16 November 1908 H. S. Walden married Elizabeth Ramsey in Franklin County, Tennessee, according to the Tennessee state marriage index.3 The census of 1910 found Harris Walden and his wife Elizabeth in Civil District 2 of Grundy County, Tennessee, and on 1 November 1911 a daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Walden, was born, her Tennessee birth record naming Harris S. Walden as father.4 He registered for the First World War draft as Harris Salomon Walden at Kansas City, Missouri.5 The tree carries two draft entries, one dated 1917 in Clay County and one dated 11 May 1918 in Jackson County; the second date is his birthday, so it may record his date of birth rather than the day he registered, and the card itself should settle both the date and the county.6 By 1920 the family had moved to Okmulgee, Oklahoma, where the censuses of 1920 and 1930 recorded Harris S. Walden with his wife Elizabeth.7 The latest record naming him is the Tennessee record of his daughter Sally's marriage to Thomas B. Nance on 20 May 1934, which gives his name as "H S Weldon"; the tree records his death only as after that date, and no death or burial record has been found.8
