Biography Notes...
His aunt Kyia died at age 104.
My grandmother, Thekla, who was Alfred's daughter, reported that the town of Edwall, located in Eastern Washington State, is named after Alfred. According to the story Alfred worked as a railroad supervisor at the town's location and when new employees needed assignment from Spokane, Washington, they would be told to go out and see Edwall. My grandmother also told me that a lake in Minnesota is named Edwall after Alfred but I haven't found any such lake.
