On the 19th of September, in Page County, Iowa, of scrofulous consumption, DAVID GOOD, aged 59 years, 4 months and 14 days. A funeral sermon was delivered by William Konkle, from Phil. 1: 21. The deceased had selected the text before his death. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite church for many years. He bore his sickness with christian fortitude and expressed his willingness and a desire to leave this vale of sorrow. Upon being asked, by the writer a few hours before his death, whether he was willing to die, he replied that all was well, and grasping his hand he exclaimed; "Oh! How sweet I feel, how good I feel." He then repeated the words of the apostle; "Having a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better." In a few hours, he calmly fell asleep.
