Good.-Joseph H., eldest son of the late Bishop Christian and Anna (Heatwole) Good, was born May 22, 1865; died in Rockingham Memorial Hospital, Harrisonburg, Va., March 18, 1936; aged 70 y. 9 m. 26 d. His illness was of short duration, having been seriously sick only five days with hemorrhages from an ulcerated stomach. He apparently suffered very little and was conscious to the last. He
was resigned to the will of the Lord, and thus calmly and peacefully passed away. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church from early manhood. He was especially fond of singing and gave some attention to the study of music in
his younger years. He was appointed church chorister and served the Bank and Weaver congregations for thirty years, serving in this capacity at the Weaver Church up to the time of his death. His quiet, simple, Christian life placed him in high esteem by all who knew him. He will be missed in the Church and in the home and community. Surviving him are his faithful and devoted companion, 2 sons (Leonard of Richmond, Va., Lewis of Branchville, Md.), 5 daughters (Mrs. Chas. Layman, Mrs. Herman Burkholder, Mrs. M. 0. Blosser, Mrs. Delbert Thackes, all of Harrisonburg; Mrs. Herman Heatwole of La Junta, Colo.), 4 brothers (J. M. and C. H. of Harrisonburg; A. C. and D. W. of Sterling, Ill.), 1 sister (Mrs. J. D. Wenger), and 19 grandchildren. Funeral services at Weaver's Church in charge of Brethren S. H. Rhodes and J. L. Stauffer. Text, Heb. 13:14. Following is a verse of the last hymn that he led in public services:
"Eternal source of joy divine,
To Thee may soul aspires;
Oh precious thot, the Lord is mine,
'Tis all my soul desires."
