A Question for the T210 Experts

[Archive]

Posted By: Tom Hufford

The player with Montgomery (Virginia Valley League)in T210 is Mike T. Waldron. He was born on July 25, 1887 (1900 census)or 1888 (WWI draft registration) near Hansford, in the Cabin Creek area of Kanawha County, WV.

In the 1910 US Census, he lived there with his wife, the former Kathleen Brannon, and two sons, Joseph and (Michael) Edward. His occupation was listed as "Ball Player - Baseball."

In the WWI Draft Registration (June 1917), Mike listed his occupation as "pool room and confectionary", and he listed that he had a paralyzed right arm.

Kathleen is listed in the 1920 census as a widow, with five children, the last born about 1917, so Mike the ballplayer must have died between 1917 and 1920. Their son, Michael Edward Waldron, died in Charleston, WV in 1951, and is buried in Sunset Memorial Park in Charleston - the same cemetery as 1927-28 Braves pitcher Guy Morrison.
