Kentucky Rosebud Dead

Kentucky Rosebud Dead The "Kentucky Rosebud" is dead. Known from coast to coast as one of the foremost characters in the history of the ring, the one-time lightweight contender was buried yesterday at the Mt. Ephraim cemetery. He formerly lived at 124 Mt. Vernon street but passed away in Philadelphia Saturday. His true name was Walter Edgerton. He was 76 years old. The "Rosebud" fought many of the leading contenders for the world's lightweight championship. Perhaps his most famous triumph was at the expense of George Dixon, another famed dusky ringster, at the Lyceum, Eleventh and Spring Garden streets, Philadelphia.
