He was raised by an Aunt,Rhoda Randolph Pulliam. He Was crippled and a lawyer. He was mugged and killed in N.Y.C. He never married and his money went to his Aunts daughter,Nellie Elizabeth Pulliam Kroeger. Also have the name Alvin for a twin and not Kenneth. The information on Karl Albert came from a picture album owned by Nellie Kroeger. It seems that Karl probably was named after his bachelor uncle, Albert Falch who I knew when I was a youngster. He became quite civic leader in Sterling, Colorado and never married and left all his money to his cousin, Nellie Kroeger. She had been in poor health for years and the money was welcome. She died in a nursing home at the age of 82, 30 August, 1992 in Liberty Kansas. He left the money to Nellie Kroeger because he was raised by her mother,Rhoda Randolph so they probably were raised as brother and sister. I got confirmation from NELLIE Kroeger's notes from my parents and Mrs Mabel Burgess who were in the area when his mother died from infection from the childbirth. He is buried in the old cemetery just west of Sterling on the old highway He is buried as Karl C Falsh. . He is in Block 8, row 8 second stone. We visited in 1993 and have pictures of the grave. Also have a picture of the twins as babies.
