Thelka, whowas 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.

Mail from Alfred from the Gorgona Canal Zone, dated June 5, 1912:

Dear Isabel and all of you,

I want to send you a few lines tonight, it will go on the Steamer tomorrow. I wish I could be home with you tonight, as I am sure you are lonely. I have not got any letter from mama, so I don't know if she left for Panama today. If she did you will be lonely for a few days, but don't worry as everything will go alright. I am glad mama did make up her mind tocome, it will do her a pile of good to get a little rest and now you and all of you children want to be good so ma don'thave to hear any bad news from you. Don't go away from home with anyone, if anyone want to take you out, don't go. I write you this because you are now old enough to understand me and you do well if you remember. There are all kinds of people in this world of ours and the class that come in automobiles and fine clothes, them are so a...... the low down rascals. So once more, don't go out away from home.
