Hello Listers: My second Great Grandfather, Franciszek Chrapkowski is buried in Howard County, Nebraska in the Farwell Cemetery. Someone (Bless them) transcribed everyone's gravemarkers and posted the transcriptions on Rootsweb. Grandfather Chrapkowski's listing reads as follows: CHRAPKOWSKI, FRANCISZEK Born 1825 Died 1907 FEBRUARY 26 Row 07 Grave 11 STONE ENCL. MATKA & OJCIEC It is this last line that means nothing to me and I am hoping someone can educate me on its meaning. Is this the company that engraved the stone and they are simply advertising? Thank you all, John
