Silas Goodrich, well known and prominent resident of Thorncreek township, died at his home on the old Goodrich homestead at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Goodrich first took sick a week ago and from that time on his condition failed to improve. Death resulted from senility and complications of old age.
Silas Goodrich was born in Delaware county Ohio, Valentine day, February 14, 1835 to Price and Orelia Goodrich and at his death was aged 88 years and 13 days. He came to Thorncreek township, Whitley county, at the age of three years and lived there continuous until his death. In 1856 he married Amanda Elder and to this union three children were born. One child survives by his first wife, Mrs. William Keirn of this city. His first wife passed away in 1862, and he then married Adeline Cook who passed away in 1873. Two children survive this union. They are Mrs. Melvin Blain of New Lake and Mrs. Eli Miller of Fort Wayne.
After the death of his second wife Mr. Goodrich married Adaline Miner, who passed away last Halloween evening at Merriam where she was taking part in the Halloween festival. The following children survive the last union: Esta Goodrich of Blythesville, Ark; Roy Goodrich of this city; Donald Goodrich at home and Mrs. Conova Humbarger of Merriam.
Although at one time engaged in the saw mill business, Mr. Goodrich spent most of his life at farming. In later years he opened a resort at Loon lake and for a time managed the hotel there. Of recent years his farm has been farmed by his son, Donald, with whom he made his home.
He served as justice of the peace for sixteen years and was active in otherways. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Thursday morning from the Hively church. Burial in the church cemetery.
