He was married to Esther Hacklander at Blue Earth, Minnesota, Dec. 5, 1906. The Goettels lived at the farm home until their retirement in Lansing in 1945. He [sic] wife preceded him in death in March, 1946.

Five children, two daughters and three sons survive. They are: Mrs. George (Lois) Munz of Lansing; Lloyd of Cedar Rapids; Mrs. Ralph (Alice Mae) Schild of Cedar Falls; John of Harpers Ferry and Arylss [sic] of Battle Creek, Mich.

He was a member of the Thompson's Corner Evangelical church, later transferring his membership to Lansing Calvary EUB church.

He had often served his church as lay delegate to the Iowa conference.

He was always faithful to community responsibility, accumulating a record of many years of service on various boards. He was for many years a director of the Paint Creek Farmers Telephone company and the German Fire Insurance company. He currently was a director of the Farmers and Merchants Savings bank of Waterville, for several years serving as president of the board.
