1863— TRINVILLA GOODELL-1932

 Mrs. Trinvilla King Goodell was born May 23 1862 at Springfield Illinois and departed this life at the home of her daughter Mrs Walter Rose, April 6 1932 aged 69 years 10 months 6 days.

 She was the daughter of Noah and Mary King, one of the eleven children which came to bless that home. One sister, one brother, and father and mother preceded her in death.

 When only a small girl she came with her parents to Madison County Iowa where she grew to womanhood.

 Educational advantages were limited in those early days' very few had the privilege of receiving a higher education and she was one who had not that privilege. She was always ambitious and industrious.

 Believing that agricultural advantages were better in Adams County, Iowa the family decided to move to a farm near Corning Iowa.

 On August 15 1878, Miss Trinvilla King was united in marriage to Mr. Rufus Goodall at the Methodist parsonage in Brooks, Iowa. They immediately began housekeeping on a farm in Adams County.

To this union were born two sons of and three daughters all of whom survive her.

 Leaving Adams County they moved to Montgomery County, Iowa, where they lived for a number of years. Then they moved to Bozeman, Montana and in 1906 to Clark, Nebraska, locating on a farm north east of Clarks which Mr Goodell had purchased at the time for their future home. The last two changes were had because of Mr Goodell's health He only lived a few year to enjoy this new home. In February 1912 he was called home to better land. For twenty years Mrs. Goodell has been without her companion and missed his counsel ant companionship. Soon after his death she sold the farm and moved into Clarks for a short time and since then has made her home with her daughter, Mrs Walter Rose.

She was quiet and unassuming in her manner and loved to be at home. She lived for her family and their best interests.

For many years she has been a member of the Methodist Church and has lived a devout Christian life. She was faithful in her attendance to its services as long as she was able to go. She lived in accordance with the principles and teachings of Her Master and her children rise up and call 'her 'blessed'! 

For the past ten years she has been under the doctor's care a greater part of the time and suffered much at times. Her one fear that she might lose her eyesight but this affliction was spared her. Last Sunday she became very ill and the doctor was called. During the night and the following day she laid m a state of coma but rallied on Tuesday morning. She suffered intensely the greater part of that day and her daughter was constantly at her bedside. On Wednesday morning she was relieved of her suffuring and went home to that land where there is no sorrow nor pain, near fear.

 Those who mourn her loss are her five children, Noah I., of Harbin, Montana; George E. of Broken Bow, Nebraska; Mrs. E. W. Bellin of Central City; Mrs. Walter Rose of Clarks; Mrs. May Cowgill of Omaha; fifteen grandchildren, two great grandchildren; four sisters,Mrs. W. Strait, Alvin, Texas; Mrs. A. C. Strait, Nodaway, Iowa; Mrs. Ben Myers, Dexter, Iowa; Mrs. Frank Barker, Oakville, Canada; four brothers, Charley King, Des Moines, Iowa; Grant King of South Dakota; Gus King Shenandoah, Iowa; Howard King, Alvin, Texas, besides a host of friends.
