WALDEN
Marvin Walden (Drcadmando@aol.com)  06 Sept, 2002
According to the obituary of my Grandfather, Asbury Walden in 1933, he was survived by an older brother, William Walden, who lived in Oswego in 1933. Does anyone have resources, such as an Oswego City Directory, which would allow you to search for info on my Great Uncle William Walden who lived in Oswego in 1933, and possibly afterward.
The Federal Census for 1940 won't be out for a few years, and I have tried to find Great Uncle William's death certificate in Kansas for a few subsequent decades  and no death certificates could be found. Since William was about 61 in 1933, I don't think he moved.
If there were any info in Oswego directories, that might help me track him.
So, if anyone have such resources, how much might it cost me, and how would I proceed?
