Good, Clara Frances Crooks -
The startling news was received in this city Saturday evening of the death of Mrs. Clara Good, at the home of' her brother, Theodore Crooks, at Burbank, Cal., near Los Angeles, from an attack of the grippe. Only a few weeks ago Mrs. Good went west for recreation and rest, after long service as clerk in County Auditor Jordan's office, and all expected to see her return to her duties in the spring much improved in health. But such is the uncertainty of life in this wonderfully mysterious world. For many years she was an operator for the Bell Telephone Co. in this city, and in fact Clarinda had been her home nearly her entire life. She was highly respected and her sudden takng away is deeply regretted by all. She was buried yesterday out there. She leaves a son, Geo. Good, who is taking his first year at Lake Forest College.

Memorial Services.
Memorial services for Mrs. Clara Goode were held Sunday morning at the Methodist church at the hour of the regular morning service. A very beautiful and impressive program was given. First, the obituary written by Mrs. W. S. Marlowe, was read by Rev. Abel, as follows:
Mrs. Clara F. Goode, after a brief and painful illness, died February 12th, 1908, in Burbank, Calif., where she had gone to visit with her eldest brother, Theodore Crooks and family. Mrs. Goode was a daughter of Samuel Crooks, one of the early pioneer merchants of this city, who was an active member, during all of his residence here, of the M. E. church and a worker in the Sunday School, and for a number of years a trustee and member of the official board. Her mother died April 8th, 1890, and is buried in our city cemetery. She has gone to join the sainted mother in glory, whose memory was ever dear and sacred to the daughter, who with loving hands and constant devotion, decked the mother's grave with flowers.
The greater part of Mrs. Goode's life was spent in Clarinda, having come here when a mere child and received her education in our public schools. Her light hearted, happy disposition won for her many friends.
She was united in marriage to Russel Goode, the summer of 1882, to which union two children were born. She is survived by her youngest son, George. Their devotion for each other was marked and beautiful. An aged father, three sisters, two brothers, all residing on the Pacific coast except her youngest brother, Phil, who resides at Kansas City, also survive her.
Mrs. Goode was endowed with a truly refined and gentle nature. To admire the beautiful, true and good, was native to her soul, giving her an attractive and pleasing personality. Whereever she went there was always sunshine, and the atmosphere that always accompanies a person of an estimable character like her's was present. In her early childhood she gave her heart to God, and was a faithful member of the M. E. church to the time of her death. Her friends were many, she was loved by all who knew her. She will be missed in her church, the street, and in the homes of her many friends. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 25, 1908
Writes of Mrs. Goode From California.
Mrs. N. C. Radford, of Burbank, Calif., sends the following in regard to the funeral of Mrs. Clara Goode:
"Clara Frances Crooks was born in Spring Valley, Minn., May 20, 1860, and died February 12, 1908, after a short and painful illness of only five days caused by nervous trouble, being unconscious most of the time. Everything that doctors, trained nurses and loving hands could do was done to save her, but the end came at 6 p. m. Wednesday.
"On account of the illness in the home of her brother, Theo. Crooks, her funeral services were conducted by Dr. P. F. Bresee, a former Clarinda pastor, in the chapel of Bresee's undertaking parlors, and what was mortal was laid to rest in Forest Lawn cemetery, Los Angeles, Calif., to wait the coming of the Lord. Her aged father, son, George, one brother and a number of relatives and Clarinda friends were present to pay their last respects.
"We want to thank the M. E. church and Eastern Star of Clarinda for the beautiful floral offerings." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 3, 1908
