J. E. Goodson, 56-year old road worker, died in the Lee Memorial Hospital early yesterday morning from injuries received when the car in which he was riding struck a litter of pigs on Tamiami Trail near Everglades and was wrecked. The accident occurred Sunday morning when Goodson caught a ride into Ochopee with W. N. Fenton of Miami. Both Fenton and a companion, Paul Estes, also of Miami, escaped with cuts and bruises but their car was demolished.
Goodson's home was on Polk Street in the East End. He was a former bread truck driver for the Morrison Bakery but for the past several months had been employed by the state road department. Funeral services will be held Thursday and the time will be announced later. The Engelhardt Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Goodson is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bertha A. Goodson; a brother, L. D. Goodson of Carabelle; a sister, Miss Mollie Goodson, also of Carabelle; two daughters, Ruth and Gene Goodson; two step-daughters, Mrs. Minnie Watkins of Ochopee and Mrs. E. R. McDowell of Fort Myers.
Goodson was making his home with Mrs. Watkins at Ochopee while he was employed with the state road crew workers near there. He had been on night duty and caught a ride at dawn with Fenton. Traffic officer Stuart Senneff of Everglades investigated and said the car ran into a drove of hogs about eight miles east of Ochopee. He said four small pigs were killed in the collision with the car which turned over several times into the canal. (Fort Myers News-Press)
