If this is the Bob Worley that Emma Jean Fidler knew of, the death date is estimated by her. She remembered Bob as having gone to Wyoming, where he died, she thought possibly murdered, in the mid 1930's. I have written to every county in Wyoming for probate and met with no success, asking for William Robert or Bob. I do have some photos of him with his horse, but they could be almost anyplace in Wyoming or eastern Colorado.
Full name from a document obtained from Emma Jean Chism Fidler. She said her sister, Mary Ann, said it is in their mother's handwriting. Has full names and dates of birth and some dates of death for James H. and Rebecca Evelyn's children. It said William Robert Smith Worley (Bob) and did have his death date. Emma Jean told me that she remembered her mother receiving some money from Bob's estate.
