Olin Belt officiated with burial in Greenwood Cemetery in Creighton. Pallbearers were Ronald McGee, Paul McGee, Newell McGee, Orin McGee, James Grause, and Allen McGee. Addie was born on December 6, 1877 at Osceola, IA, to Hiram and Martha Decker. Addie, who traveled nearly 300 miles from Iowa into Nebraska more than a century ago, died on January 11 at the Sunset Knoll Nursing Home. She and her twin brother, Bert, were only 11 months old during the trek from Osceola into central Nebraska, where their parents decided to homestead near Marquette. Addie often told friends and relatives of how she was raised in a sod house with a dirt floor. Said a daughter. "She told of how sometimes snakes would get into the sod house and cause problems." But the daughter, Mrs. Oscar (Martha) Smith of Aurelia, added, "Mother always said, though, that the sod house was nice and warm in the winter and nice and cool in the summer." Although Addie was too small to remember the wagon trip, her parents told her a flock of chickens they brought along got very wet when they forded the Missouri River with the wagon.
