Life

Vallie Alburn Walden was born in Alabama on 26 March 1884, a date the FamilySearch tree gives without an attached source, a daughter of William Walker Walden and Emma Louise McKinney; her Alabama death record and her Social Security file both name her parents as Walker W. Walden and Emma McKinney.1 The federal census of 1900 lists her as V. A. Walden in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of W. W. Walden in Coosa County, Alabama.2 On 21 July 1917 she married Dee J. Sisson in Tallapoosa County, and the census of 1920 recorded Valley Sisson in his household in Birmingham, Jefferson County.3 The tree records a divorce before 1930, without a source.4 She then married Tee Marion Reaves, the widower of her sister Elma, who had died in 1922; the tree dates this marriage only to before 1930.5 The censuses of 1940 and 1950 list Vallie Reaves in his household in Lee County, Alabama, in 1940 in election precinct 2 at Opelika.6 Her husband died at Opelika on 30 November 1956.7 She died at Opelika on 3 November 1965 and was buried in Camp Hill Cemetery, Camp Hill, Tallapoosa County, the cemetery where Tee and Elma Reaves were also buried.8 Her middle name is uncertain: the tree has Alburn, but her Social Security file and the Find a Grave index give "Vallie Alba".9
