I was told years ago of an ancestor who was a Nebraska lawman, who had been gunned down.

After much research, I finally found you...

My mother's name is Sharon Lou Wake, daughter of Albert Irvin "Bud" Wake (April 30, 1913 ~ April 5th, 1978) & Twanda Faye Worlein (October 7th, 1924 ~ March 29th, 2010).

Thank you for your service
God Bless & RIP
