This county had been her home for 70 years, and she had lived in the same house in Blair for 49 years. Her husband, Adam Rodel, died in 1931. For the past several years her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Rodel, have made their home with her.

Three children survive: Mitchell of Blair; Adam of Warsaw, Wisconsin; and Mrs. Wilhelmina Bates of Kennard; also five grandchildren and four great grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. Eggert Oft of Bennington; and a brother, William Lage of Elliott, Iowa.
