Sorrow has come to this community on the death of Mrs. Mattie Florence Good at her home, just north of New Market, at six o'clock, Wednesday evening, June 1, 1955, following an illness of two days.
Mrs. Good's friends and close neighbors learned of her passing with profound sorrow for her entire life had been spent in this community where she was held in highest esteem by all who had known her throughout life. Mrs. Good had not enjoyed the best health for some years but was able to be about in her home doing light work daily, living a quiet but happy life with her only daughter Miss Evla Good, attending church services regularly, visiting with neighbors and friends and likewise entertaining them in her home.
Born On October 15, 1877, she was the daughter of the late Anderson M. and Delilah Bowen Bushong. She was born in a house which stood nearby to the old Battlefield House with both houses being in the midst of the heavy firing between Confederate and union troops during the Civil War Battle of New Market fought on May 15, 1864.
Her father was twice married and she was the daughter of his second wife Delilah Bowen Bushong. She had two step brothers and a step-sister who preceded her in death. On Nov. 16, 1898, she was united in marriage with Isaac Timothy Good, a childhood friend who was born and reared in the same community. Her husband lived less than a year following their marriage, as his death was on October 30, 1899. Their daughter, Evla B. Good, was born in January 1900.
A faithful member of the Cedar Grove Church of the Brethren since early girlhood, Mrs. Good led a Christian life full of good deeds, love for her fellowman, understanding and sympathy for those experiencing sorrow and in trouble, and with kindness to all. Mrs. Good's motherly heart reached out to take into her home a young girl, Clare Snead, (whose married name is now Mrs. Anderson and living in Richmond, Va.) who for eight years was given a mother's love and care in the Good home.
Mrs. Good is survived by only the one daughter, Miss Evla B. Good, at home.
