  • Notes 
    • MRS. ALLEN GOODWIN

      Last Saturday evening death entered the home of Mr. Albert Steinke, claiming his only daughter, Lilian May, married but four months to Mr. Allen Goodwin. Deceased was 22 years, 6 months and 6 days of age and had been living, together with her husband, in her father's home on Park Ave. She had been suffering from influenza which indirectly caused her death by bringing on heart failure. Besides a sorrowing husband, she leaves her parents, an only brother and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss.

      The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon from her late home to St. James Lutheran Cemetery.
