ILucinda Newell Goodell was born Oct. 20, 1824, near Munson, Maine, where she grew into girlhood, then with her parents moved to Knox county, 111., settling northwest of Galesburg with what was then known as the “log colony,” living there with her parents and teaching school a part of the time in Henderson until married to Robert E. Sallee and settling on the old homestead, where she spent all of her married life, her husband dying Sept. 10, 1865. Of this union seven children were born, three of them dying in early childhood. The remaining four grew to maturity. After the children were married she moved to Hamilton county, Iowa, to make her home with her youngest daughter, where she spent the last fourteen years of her life and died Feb. 5, 1898, being 73 years, 3 months and 17 days old at the time of her death. Early in life she united with what was then known as the First church of Galesburg, and wTas a consistent member in gopd standing. When she moved to the old homestead she did not change her membership but attended regularly the Christian church at Tolbert Creek, 'where her husband was a member.Her Christian faith remained unchanged to the last. Those who knew herjuest loved her most. Two sons and two daughters survive her. One son and two daughters reside in Hamilton county, Iowa, and one son in Page eouflty. Iowa. It was her wish to be laid to rest by the side of her husband near the old homestead. The funeral services were conducted ao her late home in Iowa, and on the arrival of the remains here short but impres sive services were held at the Tolbert Creek Christian church Tuesday, Feb. 8, at 12:30 p. m., in the presence of relatives and friends. A large number of them were older settlers who had known the departed from childhood. Appropriate songs were sung followed by prayer. All were given a chance to look at the one asleep in Jesus, and there were expressions of regret on every face, showing the high esteem in which she was held and sympathy for the bereaved ones. Over the casket were placed beautiful floral offerings. The remains were then laidto rest in the Terpenning cemetery to await the better day.Clark D. Hall.
