The Cairo Messenger, Friday, February 4, 1916
Mr. C. S. Walden Dies Last Sunday

Mr. C. S. Walden who was shot on January 25th by J. E. Sasser, and was operated 
upon at a local sanitarium, died last Sunday afternoon a few minutes after five 
o'clock.  Mr. Walden began to grow worse Saturday morning and it was soon seen 
that he was in a precarious condition and the attending physicians saw at once 
there was very little hope for his recovery.  He would, no doubt survived the 
operation, had not peritonitis set in. 

Sunday morning, after being told he could not live, he made a statement, 
relative to the shooting which was practically the same as appeared in last 
week's issue of The Messenger.  Walden stated that he did not have a knife at 
the time he was shot and that he was shot without warning.  He stated that at 
the time of the shooting he was not following Sasser trying to pick a fuss or 
fight, but was asked by Sasser to go with him and they would talk the court 
matter over and try to settle their differences in a peaceable manner, without 
having to go to court.  

The deceased was about 41 years of age and leaves a wife and several children, 
besides numerous relatives and friends to mourn his loss. The remains were laid 
to rest Monday afternoon in the Godwin cemetery near town at 3:30 o'clock. The 
funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. B. Wright and attended by a large 
concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
