The Cairo Messenger, Friday, June 28, 1918
In Memory Of Christopher C. Walden

On Wednesday night, June 19, 1918 about nine o'clock, Christopher C. Walden 
departed this life.  He was born and reared in the county in which he died.

He was married to Miss Melissa Robinson of this county, March 5, 1891.

Surviving the deceased are his wife and three children, Messrs. Arthur, Tallie 
and Miss Rixford Walden, also three brothers and two sisters, Messrs. R. M., A. 
Z. and N. J. Walden and Mrs. W. M. Barrineau of this county and Mrs. J. W. 
Asbell, of Trenton, Fla.  He lived to see all his children reach the years of 
accountability, 21 years.  They were all at home with him happy and contented 
until the time of the sad hours of affliction.  He was sick only a short while, 
taken Monday afternoon with a chill; also stroke of paralysis, together with a 
ruptured blood vessel on the brain.

The last sad rites were conducted in the Jones cemetery Thursday afternoon at 
six o'clock by his pastor Elder Wm. Hollingsworth.  A large concourse of 
friends and relatives attended the services.  The deceased was 60 years of age 
and had been a consistent member of the Tired Creek Primitive Baptist church 
for a number of years.

The family extends to the neighbors and friends who came to them in their 
trouble of a devoted husband and father and contributed all the generous acts 
of kindness, words of comfort and sympathy; the many heartfelt thanks.  
Although such devoted friends cannot erase the sad memories that linger around 
the vacant chair, it brings to view the brightest side of humanity and throws a 
light of an unselfish friendship into a sad home and when the time comes when 
they need similar attention may they receive the same measure of generous aid 
and tender sympathy, and may Heaven reward each of you for we never can.
