Good - John, son of Christian and Jacobina (Ehresman) Good, was born near Hopedale, Ill, May 2, 1862; died Dec 9, 1934; aged 72 y, 7 m, 7 d.
He was married Oct. 11, 1888, to Mary Rich, who with the following children survives him; Phoebe Litwiller, Hopedale; Alvin Good, Armington; Lydia Eichelberger, Bloomington; Simon Good, Minier; Alma Litwiller, Armington; Rosa Egli, and Esther Stichter, Hopedale; and Ruth, at home.
Two children preceded him in death, 1 son (Jonas) died in infancy and 1 daughter (Emma) at the age of 34 years.
Surviving also are 38 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, 2 sisters (Susan Reeser, Eureka, Ill, and Magdalena Augsburger, Flanagan, Ill), and four brothers (Chris and Peter Good of Fisher, Ill, Jacob Good of Kokomo, Ind, and Joe Good of Chicago, Ill). The home was also opened to a foster son (Pearl Cooper of Camden, Mo).
Besides these, he leaves many other relatives and friends to mourn his departure.
He united with the Mennonite Church in his youth and remained a faithful member until death. Father has always been in good health until May 1 when embolism began to claim his body --- attacking his left leg, which resulted in amputation; later attacking him again, making the amputation of his other leg necessary; the last attack being in his lung, which caused his death. We who have seen his patience in the suffering he bore, and the expressing of his readiness for his eternal home can feel our loss is his gain.
Funeral services were held Dec 12 at the Hopedale Mennonite Church, conducted by brethren Ben Springer and Simon Litwiller. Interment in Mennonite Cemetery.
"We loved you, and no tongue can tell
How much we loved you and how well;
Christ loved hom too and thought it best,
To take him home with Him to rest."
