Eldora was born July 14, 1915, at the home of her parents in Deer Creek Township, Worth County, east of Northwood. Her parents were Ida (Fleischfresser) and Fernie (F.H.) Siebrecht. She was baptized Eldora Clara Augusta at Zion Lutheran Church, Northwood, on Aug. 1, 1915. Her sponsors were her grandmother, Clara Siebrecht, her aunt, Augusta Siebrecht, and her uncle, Emil Fleischfresser. She confirmed the faith of her baptism at Zion Lutheran Church on July 21, 1929.

She and her brother, Palmer, attended Grove Township School No. 5, sometimes known as the Swensrud School. Road conditions made it easier to reach this school rather than the Deer Creek School. She graduated from Northwood High School on May 24, 1934.

Eldora was very interested in music. She began piano lessons at the age of 9 and later played the reed organ at Zion Lutheran Church. While in high school she participated in vocal groups and played clarinet in the band that was directed by L.T. Dillon. She especially remembered being part of the production of the musical "H.M.S. Pinafore" in 1933. Eldora, on the piano, and her brother, Palmer, on clarinet, provided music during the intermissions at dances and at other programs.

She worked as a waitress in Northwood, Charles City and Cresco. She was later employed as a secretary in the law offices of L.E. Plummer, Phil Norland and Floyd and Craig Ensign. She also worked at the Worth County Farm Bureau office, the Worth County Extension office and at the real estate and farm management office of J.N. Methus. For the last 10 years before her retirement on Sept. 12, 1980, she worked at Northwood State Bank.

She was married at Northwood to Glenn Melvin Stoddard, son of Clarence and Ethel (Davis) Stoddard of Kensett, on April 12, 1947.

She was preceded in death by her mother on Feb. 18, 1939, her father on Nov. 18, 1957, her husband, Glenn, on Nov. 28, 1988, and her brother, Palmer Siebrecht, on Jan. 21, 1991.

She is survived by her daughters, Sharlene Ida Stoddard of Northwood and Glenda Kay Huston and her husband, Hugh, of Minneapolis, Minn. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Palmer (Thea) Siebrecht, of Thompson; Glenn's sisters, Maxine Davis, of Artesia, Calif., and Shirley Andersen, of Columbia, Mo.; and his brother, Leland, and his wife, Arlene Stoddard, of Baldwin, Wis.; and a number of nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.
