Legacy of a Bohemian matriarch marked by new gravestone
Leanne Tousey of Morrison Colorado funded a 10 000 replacement obelisk for Anna Ludvicek Fikejs and infant grandson J J Kacena buried in City Cemetery Cedar Rapids. She learned their story with genealogical help and honored the family with a tall cross topped marker. The effort reflects growing interest in reconnecting families through tombstone restoration.
