<p>From Steve Simon, February 2000:

</p>

<p>I think I know where Zelda lived after Walker died.

</p>

<p>I was talking to a number of folks, and it seems

</p>

<p>she moved in with her niece,Leona Bailey Cassedy.

</p>

<p>This was William O. Bailey's daughter.

</p>

<p>She lived outside of Flemington, in Astor.

</p>

<p>Their next door neighbor was Leona's brother Charlie Bailey.

</p>

<p>It seems that Leona, aged 97, is still living in Cumberland, MD.

</p>

<p>We wrote a letter to her son, but no answer yet.
