After a long illness Elijah R. Gooch, aged 23 years, passed over the river Saturday, February 6, to rest under the shade of the ever-vernal trees, beside the still waters in the land of the redeemed. The dark angel of death has plucked another flower and transplanted it in the Garden of Life above. Weep not mother, father and brothers for God hath given him life eternal and he now walks the gold-paved streets of the New Jerusalem. He was a devout member of the Christian church. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock Elds. J. G. Livingston and F. M. Tinder preached the funeral sermon at Goshen church, after which all that was mortal of him was laid to rest in the Goshen cemetery. May God throw his everlasting arms around the distressed and help them in their dark hour of trouble.
