Burlington Standard, Friday, June 3, 1932
~ Mr. and Mrs. Louis Belden of Roscoe, Ill., were callers Monday afternoon at the home of their relatives, Mrs. Emily Belden and Miss Ruby Belden, and also attended Memorial services. Louis Belden was a former Rochester boy and It was from here he entered the Spanish-American war.
(Note: I think he entered from Nebraska where he was living with Robertson uncle of his. Emily F. Brown Belden was husband of Henry Ward Belden, an uncle of Louis. Ruby L. Belden was her daughter, and Louis first cousin.)
