HUSBAND Walter Edwin (Edd) BEST
	Birth	March 11, 1878	Girard, Crawford County, Kansas
	Death	April 11, 1921	of a gun shot; Breckenridge, Texas This is another story of our group of researchers that hopefully will be passed along. Lyndel had heard one story about Edd's death; Becky had been raised with a different one; someplace along the line a third one surfaced. Brendon was curious about what really happened and contacted a museum in Breckenridge, Texas and was successful in finding a newspaper article and someone there to transcribe and mail it to her. The stories we grew up with: He is killed by his wife's lover when he returns from running an errand for her. This story goes - he was always in the habit of coming in from the oil fields and hanging up his coat, hat, and gun. The night of his death she asked him to run back out for bread or milk for dinner knowing he wouldn't bother to put his gun back on. When he returned, her lover was waiting and shot him. Another - He is killed in a bar fight. The other - He is killed in his lover's bed by her husband.
