Hi Ken, I am your cousin, once removed.
Walter died in 1985. Louis is spelled Louis.
William, Walter, Louis, Philippina (later called herself Phylis, spelled with one L), and Bernardette (with that R in there) were children of Louis (aka ALOIS) Hraban and Mary Roth. Louis had Hraban relatives in Rome, NY where they raised horses. My dad also remembered apple trees there. Louis' family had been in this country since its early history. Mary Roth came from Austria-Hungary when she was 13 years old.
