Good - Simon P, son of A P and Rebecca Good, was born in Rockingham Co, Va, Mar 27, 1856; died at his home near Elida, Ohio, Aug 23 ,1926; Aged 70 y. 4 m. 27 d.
He with his parents moved to Putnam Co, Ohio, when yet a small boy. Soon after they came to Allen Co, where he has resided ever since. He was united in marriage to Anna Amstutz, who lived but a short time. In 1883 he was united in marriage to Barbara E Greider. To them were born eleven children. Four died in infancy and seven survive. He leaves his beloved wife, his children Anna (Mrs John Brenneman), Rebecca (Mrs Eli Troyer), Mary (Mrs Hershel Brenneman), Leah (Mrs Reuben Brunk); Menno Good, Clara (Mrs Robert Ross), his brothers, Henry Good and Jacob Good, his sisters, Mrs Elizabeth Huber, Mrs John Mumaw, his grandchildren (22 living, 1 deceased), besides many other relatives and friends.
In his early manhood he safely anchored his soul in the "Rock of Ages" and gave his hand to the Mennonite Church. In 1905 the Lord having found in him such qualities as are essential to the office of deacon, sent him forth on this mission in which capacity he was active as long as health permitted. Although he had been sick for more than three years, yet the news of his death came to many rather unexpected. His illness was due to nervous exhaustion which was followed by complications. During his affliction he was not able to attend church services but he maintained a strong faith in his God and a deep concern for the welfare of the Church to the end. He possessed those rare traits of character which enabled him to be of great usefulness not only in the Church but also in the home and neighborhood. To many he gave helpful counsel and advice. He was always ready to give a helping hand to those in need and opened his home to many homeless boys. Altho his work is ended we believe his life will live on in the hearts of others. Funeral services were conducted Aug. 26, at the Pike Church by the brethren I. J. Buckwalter of Dalton, Ohio and P. E. Brunk and Andrew Brenneman of Elida, Ohio. Interment in Pike Cemetery. Text, Psa 72: 17.
Our dear father's gone to heaven,
And his heartaches now are o'er;
Angels came and made him welcome,
Where these partings all are o'er.
Father, dear, you sweetly left us,
Sorrow ne'er can touch your heart;
Jesus whom you loved, os dearly
Joy to you will still impart.
A daughter.
