The death of Mrs. Adelia Cowdery Goff occurred June 10th, at the home of her sister, Mrs. I. G. Barrows, after a prolonged illness of heart trouble, during which she received most faithful and tender care from her sister.
She was born in Tunbridge, March 17, 1850, the eldest daughter of George L. and Harriet A. (Godfrey) Cowdery. Mrs. Goff came to this town in 1863, when her father purchased the farm so long known by his name. Excepting eighteen years in Manchester, N.H., her long life of seventy-five years was spent in or very near this home. Her marriage to William Goff took place March 12, 1889, and after the death of Mr. Goff in 1897, she returned to the family home, assisted in the care of her mother, and so remained with her sister and family.
In the passing of Mrs. Goff, Royalton loses one more of the few remaining representatives of its old families. A lady of kindly, social nature and exemplary character, she lived quietly among her friends and with the flowers she loved so well. In the culture of flowers she had rare ability and many were the friends and shut-ins, whose life and home were brightened by those tokens of her sympathy and thoughtfulness. Besides her sister and family, there remains one brother, Arthur B. Cowdery of Glen Falls, N.Y., to mourn her passing, also a nephew, Clarence Cowdery of Stratford, Conn., son of her brother George, who died a few years ago.
