Although the tombstone indicates that her husband, Ward, is buried with her, that is not the case. A story passed down through the family tells that Ward was concerned that he would be washed into the ditch (the stone is next to the road and a deep ditch). He purchased a burial place in the interior of the cemetery, apparently unconcerned about Alwilda.
