Holyoke Enterprise, Holyoke, CO, March 13, 1975
RITES FOR MRS. GODDARD MARCH 12
Funeral services were held Wednesday, March 12, 1975, from the First Christian Church in Holyoke for Mrs. W. C. Goddard, who passed away March 8, at the Sheridan Manor Nursing Home.
Dale Arnold, minister of the church officiated at the services. Interment was in Holyoke Memorial Park.
Clarissa Ann Pendleton Goddard was the second child of seven children of James Howard Douglas and Mary Elizabeth Low Pendleton. She was born in Idaho Falls [Springs], Colorado on November 12, 1882.
Mr. Pendleton was a carpenter and designer of houses. Part of Clara's early life was spent in Kansas where her father was to contract and build houses. When this was finished, they moved to Boulder, Colorado, where they made their permanent home. Her father designed and built their home on University Avenue, and it was a happy home on the mountain side, with parents, one brother and five sisters.
While the younger children were still small, Mr. Pendleton died leaving a mother and several small children. Together they all worked and managed high school and college for those who wanted it.
Clara chose the teaching profession and taught school in the Haxtun and Holyoke area where she met Cliff Goddard who was a member of the school board. Their friendship increased and they were married on December 24, 1914 in the G.M. Hitt home.
Each had a daughter by a previous marriage, Mrs. Jessie Jones of Anchorage, Alaska, and Mrs. Junia Richmond of Gibbstown, New Jersey. After the school term, Cliff and Clara moved to a homestead southwest of Holyoke where they made their home for sixty years. They were living at the homestead at the time of Mr. Goddard's death on January 6, 1975.
Two years after moving to their home, twin daughters were born, Mrs. Velma Sprague and Mrs. Verda Pollock. A few years later, Mrs. Willa Zick and Mrs. Edythe Rossi were born, making a family of six daughters.
Clara passed away on March 8, at the age of 92 years after two months of illness. Preceding her in death were her loving husband, Cliff, her parents, one brother and three sisters.
Surviving, besides her children, are two sisters, Amy and Grace Pendleton of California, six grandchildren, five great grandchildren as well as many relatives and friends.
