Some ten days or two weeks ago, Mrs. America Goodin, was brought from her home in Lincoln county, Missouri, to the residence of her daughter Mrs. Elliot Baker in a very weak and feeble state of health, having been long an invalid. On the morning of the 27th at 1:30, she peacefully passed away at the ripe old age of 75, and her remains were deposited in the Goodin cemetery to await the final resurrection, after a brief religious service by Elder Snively. Her maiden name was America Grant, and on the 12th of January, A. D., 1843, she was joined in marriage with Alexander H. Goodin by that veteran evangelist, James Burbridge, then known and loved by all as 'Old Father Burbridge.' They made their home and raised a family in this county the earlier part of their married life and there are now living as the fruits of their union Mrs. Fred Brittain, of Texas Robert, William and Lafayette in Missouri, Thomas in Oklahoma, Mrs. Susan Baker and S. M. Goodin of this county. The aged husband still survives. They were part and parcel of the county's early history, esteemed and respected by all.
