About Lester Loren O'Dell
Lester L. O'Dell, son of Clark and Mary O'Dell, was born Sept. 30, 1861, in Mason township, Taylor county, Iowa, and departed this life August 5, 1945, at the age of 83 years, 10 months, and five days. He was one of five children, three boys, and two girls, all of whom have preceded him in death.
When two years old, he moved with his family to the present farm home, where he grew to manhood and followed the occupation of farming.
On March 5, 1890, he was united in marriage to May Fitch. They in turn have lived at the same home until he departed this life. To them were born four children, Bruce F. O'Dell of McPaul, Ia., Mrs. Neva Novinger of Gravity, Mrs. Helen Cummings of Bedford, and Herman H. O'Dell, who resides on the home farm.
He leaves to mourn his passing the aged wife and companion of 55 years, the four children and eleven grandchildren.
Being a pioneer of this community, he watched the county develop from open prairie to its present state, and made every attempt to adjust himself to the ever-changing conditions and times.
His many, many friends are numbered, not so much by the long continuous years of his residence as by the good deeds and kind words he had to offer. He will be greatly missed by his family and his loved ones.
