A.F. Gooch Passes Over
Amos Frederick Gooch passes over at the age of 68 years, 6 months and 10 days.
He was born in Kent county Michigan July 3, 1853 and died in Portland, Oregon January 13, 1922
He was born and raised on a farm. When starting out in life he went to work in the Michigan State Iron Works at Grand Rapids. After learning the occupation, he work in the Michigan lumber camps. In 1875, he married Miss Catherine McDonald and lived on a farm again for five years in his native state. In 1880, he moved to Oregon and went into the Scio mill business in which he was engaged up to within the last 6 or 8 years.
His first wife died January 16, 1917. He was united in married the second time to Mrs. Carrie M. Allen of Portland, Oregon. To the union of his first wife eight children were born, five of whom survive him. They are Fred Gooch of Albany, Frank and Earl Gooch of Shelburn, Mrs. Marion Tindall of Scio and Ben Gooch of Dunsmuir, Cal. Mrs. Margaret French, Charles Gooch and an infant son crossed over before him.
Mr. Gooch has made his home in Shelburn for the last 30 years, excepting the last three months when he spent in Portland taking medical treatments. A stroke of apoplexy was the cause of death.
Mr. Gooch was a kind, loving affectionate husband and father, an obliging and accommodating neighbor, a very progressive thinker and always a booster for his little hometown of Shelburn. In the passing of Mr. Gooch, Shelburn has lost one of its most progressive citizens. The wife and the writer of this sketch who was asked by him years ago to conduct the services when he passed over feels that he has lost one of his truest friends and whose sorrow and sadness is mingled with that of his wife and children in the loss of father, husband and friend. He was buried in Miller Cemetery close to the little town of Shelburn, most of whose homes are built from lumber sawed by Mr. Gooch. George L. Sutherland
