Frederick Goring, one of Hennessey's oldest and best known citizens succumbed to the inevitable last Saturday morning, February 11, 1911, at the M. E. hospital at Guthrie. Mr. Goring, who lived alone, was taken ill about five weeks ago and although he had the most careful attention, he felt that he would be better off to go to the hospital, where he was taken by Rev. C. H. McDermond about ten days before his death.
The body was brought back to Hennessey Saturday night and the funeral services, which were in charge of the I.O.O.F. and G.A.R. of which orders he was a prominent member, were held from the M. E. church, Monday afternoon, Rev. N. Paul Barton, officiating. Interment was made in the city cemetery.
Frederick Goring was born in Baden-Baden, Germany, on September 9, 1832. His father was a sailor and was lost at sea before the birth of the son. Mr. Goring remained with his mother in Germany until he was eighteen years of age, and then embarked for America landing at New Ark, New Jersey, where he made his home with an uncle. He afterward drifted westward to Illinois, where he enlisted in the civil war in the early days of that great conflict, in Company H, 59th Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, at Charleston, joining the regiment at St. Louis, Mo., on August 15, serving until the close of the war, receiving an honorable discharge at Camp Butler, Illinois, January 15, 1866. Mr. Goring was in many hard fought battles, Bull Run and Look Out Mountain being among the number.
After the close of the war he was married to Miss Jennie Moore, in Charleston, Illinois, moving to Sedalia, Missouri, where one daughter was born -- Sabria Sedalia. Later moving to Allen county, Kansas, where two other daughters were born -- Margaret and Minnie. His wife died in Kansas, leaving him with the care of three little daughters. Twenty-nine years ago he was married to Mrs. Margaret A Pence, at Iola, Kansas, at to this union one daughter, Ica May, was born. During his residence in Kansas Mr. Goring freighted on the old Santa Fe trail from Fort Humbolt to Fort Leavenworth, living in Kansas during the trying days of the grasshopper siege. He came to Hennessey, Oklahoma, nineteen years ago.
He was baptized and brought up in the German Lutheran church. After coming to America he united with the Presbyterian church, but when the Methodist Episcopal church of Hennessey was organized he became a charter member of that organization. He was for years secretary of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He has gone through the chair of that order, being a Past Noble Grand. He has always been an earnest member of the G.A.R., having gone through all the offices of that order.
Mr Goring had many friends. He was held in high esteem because of his integrity and great strength of character and straight forward manner in all his dealings.
