In the prime of his life, Louis Emmit Goode was a highly successful furrier and businessman in the Davis County area. He married Rosy Gravitt in 1891 and years later built a Queen Anne inspired farmhouse that was completed in 1910 that could accommodate their ever-growing family. This home is now called the Goode Home and has become something of a Davis County landmark.
L.E. and Rosy had 15 children, with all but three surviving infancy. If that wasn't enough, each of the children's names began with a 'D'.
As a man of strong faith, L.E. was a charter member of the Bloomfield Nazarene Church, now the Grace Pointe Church of the Nazarene. He and Rosy hosted many church functions at his house including several large conferences. While many homes of this time period boast a ballroom on the third floor, L.E.'s strong religious convictions did not allow for dancing so instead the children used the large open space of the third floor for roller skating activities.
L.E. passed away in March of 1933. He had fallen into bad health after losing a substantial portion of his fortune in the stock market crash. Shortly thereafter Rosy was forced to sell several pieces of furniture in order to continue living in the house. A few years later she reluctantly sold the home and moved just a few blocks away. She passed away in the summer of 1962.
