Freda Ferdinandine Falck, daughter of Lorenz and Anna Falck was born in Fayette county five miles west of Strawberry Point on Aug. 29, 1893 and died at her home Monday morning after a lingering illness. She was baptized and confirmed by Rev. G. Graf, then pastor of the local Emanuel's Lutheran church. She received her education in the rural and local public school. In 1914 she moved to town with her parents and two years later went to Davenport where she remained ten years as clerk and later advanced to the position as head sales lady and assistant buyer in a dry goods department store. She was forced to come home and care for her mother who died on Nov. 30, 1930 and her father died on Dec. 14, 1930. Later she commenced clerking in the Noble and Rulon store now known as Your Store until her health began to fail. She underwent two major operations in the Mercy hospital at Oelwein. Her sufferings were great but she bore them as patiently as she could. Surviving are three sisters and five brothers: Mrs. Fred Linderwell of Lamont, the Misses Sophia and Margaret at home, Fred and Leon of Cresco, Theodore, Charles and Walter of Lamont, also three half-sisters and one half-brother; Mrs. Ida Wesender of Garnavillo, Mrs. Elizabeth Falck and Mrs. William Haines of Davenport and Will Falck of Lamont besides other relatives and a large circle of friends. Besides her parents, two sisters and one half-sister have preceded her in death.
