Eileen died in 1931 from Leukemia.
Eileen Marie Godding, older daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Godding, 221 North Summit Street, died yesterday morning at the Children's Hospital, at St. Louis. Eileen, who was eight years old, had been ill for almost a year and during the past few weeks slight hope was held for her recovery.
Eileen was an unusually popular little girl with her associates and her death is a decided blow to many El Doradoans who knew her intimately. She was a regular attendant at the Methodist Sunday School until the time of her illness and attended the Jefferson Grade School where she would have been in the second grade had she been able to continue.
The body was brought to El Dorado this morning. The funeral services will be held at the Byrd Funeral Home at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The body may be viewed by friends from 10 until 12 o'clock tomorrow morning at the funeral home. The casket will not be opened at the services. Burial will be made in West Cemetery.
The Rev. R. L. Stuart, pastor of the Methodist Church, will have charge of the services. Music will be furnished by Mrs. Harry Campbell, Miss Elsie Ow, Miss Thelma Atkinson, C. T. Faulders and T. C. Kington.
Besides her parents, Eileen is survived by a younger sister, Viva, age 3 and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Godding of Burns. (El Dorado Times, Monday, March 23, 1931)
Flowers filled almost every available space yesterday afternoon when simple but impressive funeral rites were held for Eileen Marie Godding, eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Godding at the Byrd Funeral Home. The crowd was one of the largest to attend a funeral in El Dorado in recent years. Rev. Robert Lee Stuart was in charge of the services, both at the chapel and at the grave, while a quartet composed of Miss Elsie Ow, Mrs. Harry Campbell, C. T. Faulders and T. C. Kingston sang "When He Cometh." Mr. Faulders also sang "Leave Me All those Enduring Charms." And Miss Ow and Mrs. Campbell sang "Luther's Cradle Hymn." The pallbearers were Wilbur Morris, R. A. Wright, Harry Campbell, and E. A. Todd. Burial was made in West Cemetery.
