Early Resident of This County Dies At Fremont

Mrs. Anna Godel, 59, a resident of Dodge and Washington County practically all her life, died at her home, in Fremont last Saturday evening, death resulting from a nine week’s illness, during which her health rapidly declined.

Mrs. Godel was born on the Atlantic Ocean as her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lallman, prominent Arlington residents for many years, were en route to America. For a short time her parents lived at Quincy, Ill., and then moved to Washington County, where they settled on a homestead.

Mrs. Godel was united in marriage to Herman Godel, in Fontanelle June 22, 1884, and they took up their residence in Fremont, where they have lived since that time.

Surviving are her husband, one son, John of Snyder; five daughters, Mrs. Bert Witherby, Omaha; Mrs. Harry Lawless, Hebron; Mrs. J. E. Daly, Mrs. George L. Mercer and Margaret Godel of Fremont; five brothers, William and Henry Lallman of Arlington; Edward Lallman, Fremont; and Fred and Herman Lallman of Grand Junction Colo., and one sister, Amanda Fiene of Grand Junction, Colo. Three grandchildren also survive.

Funeral services were held in the First Baptist Church of Fremont Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock, Rev. Carl G. Aue, pastor of the Salem Lutheran Church officiating. Interment was made in the Ridge Cemetery, Fremont.
