Read More	Viola Della was born to Paul Edwin Johnson and Florella Hathorn on Dec. 30, 1904 at Merriman, Nebraska. She spent most of her life in Irwin, NE. with her parents, during which time she kept books for her father who was a railroad foreman. On Oct. 25, 1947, she was united in marriage to Lewis Grant Waddill and they made their home in Irwin, NE. It is interesting to note that it was Viola's parents who purchased the land claims that Grant's mother had lived and proven on, in White Clay, Nebraska area. Cora had sold this land to the Johnson family when she and her husband moved to Texas in about 1907. Viola was five years Grant's senior and nearly 43 years of age when she and Grant married. The couple did not have any children. After Grant's death May 16, 1966, Viola moved to Gordon, NE. In August of 1985 she suffered a stroke and resided at the Good Samaritan. She died at Gordon Good Samaritan on Feb. 13, 1989 at the age of 84 years, one month, 14 days. Preceding her in death were: her husband, parents, two sisters; Lottie (Mrs. Deo Gardner), Evelyn (Mrs. Ralph Gardner), a nephew, Melvin Gardner and a niece Lucille (Mrs. Edward Leach). She is survived by one niece, Kathleen (Mrs. Lee Sones) and two nephews, Keith Gardner of Rushville and Donald Gardner of Lusk, WY. Graveside services were held Feb. 16 with Pastor Dave Sweley officiating, with interment in the Gordon cemetery.
