GOLL, Isaac

Isaac Goll Died at his late residence east of Tekamah, on Friday morning, September 15, 1899, Isaac Goll, aged 67 years. The deceased was an honored citizen of this county, having resided here since 1862. Isaac Goll was born in Germany in 1832 and came to this country in 1852. He was married at Iowa City, Iowa, in 1857 to Miss Rose Kurtz, who preceded him to the grave some nineteen years ago. He and his wife moved from Iowa to Washington county, Nebraska, in 1859, settling in the then promising town of Cuming City, which was between Blair and Herman at that time, but was one of the many towns which disappeared. They resided there for five years, coming to Burt county in 1862 and settled on a farm one-half mile east of Tekamah. Six children survive the father, viz: Mrs. Chris Jeep, Mrs. C. C. Barrows, Charles, Henry and Kate Goll, of Tekamah, and Mrs. Claude Reyman of Valentine, Neb. The funeral services were held at the residence on Sunday afternoon by Rev. A. G. Wilson. The remains were followed to their last resting place in the Tekamah Cemetery by a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and sympathizing friends. *********************** A Pioneer Passes Away Isaac Goll died September 15th, 1899. The deceased was born in Germany in 1832. He cam to America at the age of 20 years in 1852; was married to Miss Rose Kurtz, at Iowa City in 1859, and came to Nebraska the same year and located at Cuming City, and two years later moved to the present Goll homestead adjoining Tekamah on the east. To this union seven children were born, five daughters and two sons. The mother died in July 1880 also Louise (Mrs. John Fees) preceded her father to the other shore, leaving Mrs. Jeep, Mrs. Reyman, Mrs. Barrows, Miss Kate, Charles and Henry to mourn the departure of a kind and loving father. Mr. Goll was one of our most substantial, prosperous and respected citizens, attending strictly to his own affairs and abiding by the rule of doing unto others as he would have them do unto him. Mr. and Mrs. Goll have not lived in vain. Their rectitude of conduct and moral influence of themselves and the estimable family that they have reared has benefited the community. The funeral services were held in the grove at his late home on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Wilson of the Presbyterian church officiating. The services were attended by a very large number of his old-time friends and neighbors. The funeral cortege to the cemetery where his remains were interred was one of the largest that we ever witnessed. Thus another pioneer who assisted in making this country inhabitable has gone to that bourne from when no traveler returns. NOTE: Two obituaries were located, which results in some duplication.
