Sat Dec 25, 2021 23:36

I have Kate’s niece as Lillian May Lane Rafert ( 1879-1940) . Lillian’s mother was Kate’s sister, Rosalia. Her father, Ephriam Lane, died in 1879,same year Lillian was born . Rosalia married two more times, John Elphinstone then Frederick Bruchmann. Lillian’s husband was Alonzo Rafert ( 1873-1925).

Lillian, Alonzo and Rosalia are buried in Denver, Colorado.
