Buried on the 30th at the Salem M. H. in Sugar Creek Twp. Services at the house by Pre. Badthard and at the church by C. B. Brenneman, from Rom. 8: 18. He leaves a wife, one son and three daughters, his father and two sisters and many friends to mourn his departure, but, praise the God of his soul, they mourn not as those that have no hope. We believe our loss to be his eternal gain. Bro. Good retains consciousness until the end; the day before he departed he made the arrangements for his funeral, and bade farewell to all present and said, "I am now going to Heaven." He made choice of the place of burial, the minister to preach his funeral, selected the text, gave description of coffin, etc. Bro. Good was always of a good moral character, but was yet unsaved. For the last year he labored under heavy convictions, until six weeks before he died, he took his convictions to the Lord, wrestled with God in prayer by faith until finally God gave him peace in the soul and a new heart so that he could say "glory to God in the highest, on earth, peace, good will toward men." Soon after he had obtained peace with God he desired to be baptized with water and taken into fellowship of the believers. His request was granted some weeks before he died. He was asked if he would rather get well, he said, "Only for one thing, that is, I would like to live a Christian, to be a witness, for the Lord; but in this my will is the Lord's will; if He thinks better to take me, all is right." Oh, would that the Lord might, by the power of His love and sacred words, move so mightily upon many more of the unsaved that they might be brought upon their very knees to wrestle with God by faith in prayer until they could say like our brother "all is right." May God especially so move upon Bro. Good's family by the power of His love that they may become as one family in the Lord, so that when the message comes to them all will be right.
