A.J. GOODBAR
The Former Wholesale Hatter Dies at His Home in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 14 - A.J. Goodbar, many years in the wholesale hat business in this city and Saint Louis, Mo., died recently at his home, 617 Russell Street, after a protracted illness.
Mr. Goodbar was born in Overton County in 1826. He was engaged in the retail business in Dickson at the beginning of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the Confederate army. He was appointed colonel of militia, and was subsequently connected with the quartermaster's department, holding the rank of major. At the close of the war Mr. Goodbar came to this city and was identified with the wholesale clothing house of Bolivar H. Cook and Co. In 1872 he established the wholesale hat firm of Goodbar & White. The business was moved to St. Louis in 1883. About seven years ago illness compelled him to retire and return to Nashville, where he spent the remainder of his days.
Mr. Goodbar was a member of the Knights of Honor and Royal Arcanum, and at the time of his death was a member of the grand jury. He left a son, J.W. Goodbar, of St. Louis, and four married daughters. The remains were interred at Mount Olivet.
