1971?

Mary Lydia Goessling

We received the following clipping from Carribelle Donnelly, who with her husband, Kenneth, are wintering in the southwest, both Arizona and California. She said the clipping was mailed to her from her cousin, Co. Smith. She said the name was not familiar to her or Ken and she wondered who it was. The lady's maiden name is not carried in the obituary and we do not know who she was but are publishing it in the hopes someone who knew her sees the item.

(Pacific Beach, Calif.)
