Eileen Goos

Eileen Anna Goos, one of two children of Fredrick Herman and Mary Anna (Eyberg) Schroeder, was born in Pottawattamie County, Iowa on November 2, 1926. Eileen was raised on her parent's farm near McClelland, Iowa where she attended rural Washington Township School through the 8th grade. Eileen attended high school in Treynor, Iowa where she graduated with the class of 1944. Following high school, Eileen attended the Northern Iowa State Teachers College in Atlantic and Missouri Valley, Iowa. She returned home and began teaching at the Washington Township School. She later taught at the Silver Creek Township School and during this time stayed with the Harvey Tiarks family.
On June 29, 1947, Eileen and Delmar Henry Goos were married at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Treynor. They made their home on a farm east of Carson, Iowa, and were blessed with four children Susan, Rozan, Warren, and Wayne. In addition to her duties as a homemaker, Eileen enjoyed gardening, flowers, reading, and neighborhood activities. She was a member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church, the Republican Women's Club, and Farm Bureau. She was also a member of the 20th Century Federated Women's Club where she served as the local and regional club president, and as chair of the State Scholarship Committee.
Eileen and Delmar moved to their current home in Macedonia, IA on 1985. Eileen's failing heath forced her to move to the Oakland Manor Care Center in Oakland, IA earlier this month.
