RICHARD GOODHEAD, COUNTY PIONEER, DIES FAMILY HOME
Richard Goodhead, 75, died at the family home on East Front street at 11 o'clock last night from liver complications.

He closed up his business in Rockvale 18 years ago and the family moved to Florence. Mr. Goodhead built the block on Front street, which bears his name, and includes a garage and store rooms on the first floor, a skating rink and living apartments upstairs.
He was a member of Hercules Lodge No. 21, Knights of Pythias, of Coal Creek, which organization will officiate at the funeral.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Emma Goodhead, two sons, Archie, of Rockvale, and Howard, of Florence, and one daughter, Mrs. Rosebud Dewhurst, of Rockvale. Four children preceded their father by death, Arthur, Elsie, Blanche and Willie.
The funeral will be held from the Easton chapel Sunday, November 11, at 2:30 p. m. and will be in charge of the Knights of Pythias of Coal Creek. Burial will be made in Highland cemetery under the direction of the Easton Funeral Home.
