Walford was born in Canada. On his tombstone his name is spelled Woolford, on legal papers we found it Wolford and Walford, on the family Census while they lived in Canada for the year 1851 it is plainly written Walford N. -- We learned that one of the children died in early childhood, we think that is Emogene. The other daughter is Mrs. Albert Fuhlbrigge or Tuhlbrugge, we do not have any way of knowing which name is correct. --Emogene and Luella were both born in Minnesota. -- The nephews referred to Walford as Uncle Colonel with no other name used. In his obituary he is referred to as Colonel. We suppose he was in the service during the Civil War. --Lucinda lived 41 years in South Dakota, near Hermosa. |

| The 1900 adds yet another variant: Wolfard. |

| The 1920 solves one mystery: the name of the man that Walford and Lucinda's daughter married was Albert Fuhlbrugge, and Lucinda is living with him, his wife and two children. Note that the daughter is called Edith L., and she is 40. This is Luella, then, and Emogene died young. |
