Pioneer Postville Woman Dies After Extended Illness
Mrs. George Oldag passed away at her home last Friday night at the age of 77 years. She had been ailing for almost a year. Funeral services were held at St. Paul's Lutheran church Tuesday afternoon. The Rev. R.B. Garten officiated and burial was in the Postville cemetery. She was born in Mechlenburg, Germany, July 9, 1856, and with her parents came to Postville 60 years ago. She was married to George Oldag and seven children were born to them. For many years the family lived on their farm in Grand Meadow township, and later retired and moved to Postville. She is survived by her husband, three sons, Edward, Otto and Henry Oldag of Postville, and four daughters, Mrs. William Willman, Mrs. Arthur Schultz, Mrs. John Schroeder, all of Postville; and Mrs. Shipton of Clermont. There are also 18 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, and two brothers, William and Adolf Foels, to mourn her departure.
