When the Kirmses moved to Alva in 1910 Mrs Cordes stayed at Shattuck and made her home with another daughter, Mrs. Henry (Marie) Lohman. When the Lohmanns moved to Alva Mrs. Cordes moved with them and lived with them until Marie's death. She then again made her home with William and Martha Kirmse. After years of failing health she died Aug. 30, 1929, and was buried in the Lutheran Cemetery at Alva.
