The California Death Index shows that Walter J. Waldron was b. 11 Sep 1877
in Texas and d. 8 Oct 1960 in Los Angeles County, CA. His mother's maiden
name was Davidson.
The Washington Death Index and the SSDI indicates Harry Sheridan may have
died in Tacoma, Washington. I found him in the 1920 census index
living in Othello, Adams County, WA, but couldn't seem to get the right
census page. No sign of Bessie Davis, but may have been under her
husband's name in the index, or she could have been married to someone
else.
