Surnames: GOEDEKER/GODECKER, BIR Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3h.2ADE/1998.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Loudene, Alois' wife was indeed Mary Goedeker/Godecker. According to the church records, she is Maria Anna - likely just Mary Ann - and was born 27 Oct 1876 in Starlight, Clark County, IN. I'm not sure whether your friend is interested in the Bir or Goedekers, but I can provide a significant amount of information on the Goedekers if there is any interest.
