Mary A. Nolden, wife of the late Frederick Nolden and resident 
of this city for many years died Saturday night.  Death came at 
11:05p.m. in her home at 517 West Fifth Street.  She was 84 years
and 25 days of age.  The descendent, who was president of the 
Ladies Aid Society of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church for
18 years, was well knnown throughout this community.  She lived 
continuously for many years at the home in which she died.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock 
with Pastor T. B. Epting in charge.  Burial will be made in the
city cemetery.  Mary Adeline Nolden was born in St. Louis, 
Missouri, on December 1, 1847 and died at the age of 84 years 
and 25 days, following an illness of four weeks duration.
She was married on January 23, 1865, to Frederick Nolden, the 
ceremony being performed in this city.  Her husband died two 
years ago.  Eleven children were born to the couple, one dying 
in infancy and Miss Josephine passing away 26 years ago.

Four daughters and five sons survive.  They are:  Mrs. Emma 
Menckel of Festus Missouri, Miss Libbie Nolden, Mrs. Harry 
Mason, Mrs. William Guelker, all of Beardstown, Henry and 
Herbert Nolden of East St. Louis, Ill, Arnold Nolden of Joliet,
Ill, Albert Nolden of Des Moines, Iowa, and L. F. Nolden
of Beardstown. Two sisters, Mrs. Joe Hinchide and Mrs. Louise 
Reither and a brother, Henry Geils of Beardstown also survive,
in addition to 15 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Family Notes: Family believes that error was made when wrtting 
obituary, because Frederick Nolden died in 1904, so we believe
that Josephine Nolden-Thompson most likely died in 1929.
L. F. Nolden is Louis Frederick (Fritz) Nolden, child who died 
in infancy is George.
