Ridley Genealogy 8 continued

Look at about the 5th name down, a man by the name of Walter Likely. Walter was shot by the sheriff for stealing a chicken. He died at a young age (22), so I think he probably was killed when he was shot, although that wasn't pointed out. Look at the year that took place. 1933. That was during the depression when times were bad. There are probably many sad stories of people trying to feed their families during that period of history.
