| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ April 27, 1978, p. 7 MYRTLE GOEGLEIN One of Wickenburg’s oldest residents, Myrtle Luhetta Goeglein, was laid to rest beside her husband Wednesday this week in Mountain View Cemetery, Prescott. Mrs. Goeglein, age 93 years, died Sunday in the Wickenburg Community Hospital. Know to many locally as “Mrs. Wickenburg,” she often counseled young and old. She lived in one of the town’s oldest adobe houses near the hanging tree back of Johnson Dry Good Store on Tegner and was a Wickenburg resident 45 years. Active in church activities she also was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the Soroptomist Club. Dr. G. C. Swain officiated at services at the First Presbyterian Church. Survivors include two sons, Myrwil and Melvin, five grandchildren and nine great-great-granchildren. Mrs. Geoglein was married to William John Goeglein in Victor, Colo., in 1901. He had been brought there as a two-year-old in 1876. The Goegleins moved to Arizona Territory in 1905 and their first son, Myrwil, was born in Humboldt in 1907. Mr. Goeglein was an assayer and chemist for mining developments in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado, Utah, Humboldt, Ariz., and Globe. The Geogleins returned to Arizona in 1930, and after several years in Congress, retired to Wickenburg. Mr. Goeglein died in 1960 and is buried next to his parents in the Cemetery at Prescott. |
