Thank you to Rulo, Ne Cemetery Member Craig for Honoring My 6 th Generation grandfather Marshal Alfonso's Wake with a new tombstone. It's a very good thing I have his Harmonica he has played back when he was a cop. It was handed down to me from his son William H Wake and wife Mary Lavina Narence, then handed down to his Granddaughter Edith May Wake one of 4 granddaughters which was handed down to me in 1980 kept in a safe for 40 years until now. I am honored that my Great Grandmother Edith gave it to me 118 years after his death.
