Lille was widowed in 1902 and a year later, her misfortunes continued when she married Albert Goodisson without knowing he had syphilis.

In September 1923 Albert went to an asylum in Batavia [it was renamed Jakarta] for ‘health reasons’ suggesting that his advanced symptoms were impossible to hide.

Five months later he died of ‘general paralysis’ and dementia, the unmistakable features of untreated tertiary syphilis.
