Good - Rebecca Rhodes was born in Rockingham Co, Va, Apr 15, 1827, and died in Allen Co, O, Dec. 7, 1901. Aged 74 years, 7 months, and 22 days.
She was united in marriage to Abraham P Good, also from Rockingham Co, Va, on Oct 23, 1845. He departed this life March 12, 1892. To this union were born six sons, and four daughters, of which number three sons preceded her to the home beyond. The grandchildren number fifty-seven, forty-eight living and nine dead. And twenty-three great-grandchildren, all living, making a total of ninety [descendents] of which seventy-eight are living.
She united with the Mennonite church in her youth and was a faithful member until death. She was deaconess in the church about twelve years. On earth we see her friendly face no more, nor hear her words of comfort and encouragement but we have the hope that we may meet her where parting will be no more. Her anxiety in her last days was revealed in her prayer to God that the affections of Christian people might become stronger in Christ and severed more fully from the vain things of this world. About her last words were "I want you all to meet me in heaven." Let us all strive to that end.
Funeral services by Moses Brenneman of Lima, O, and N O Blosser of New Stark from Matt 6:21. Selected by the deceased sister a few days before her death.
