Died in Eden Township, May 13, 1900 JOHN A GOIN, aged 86 years, 4 months and 21 days. The subject of this sketch was born in Clayborn County Tennessee December 22, 1813 where he grew to manhood.
He settled in Missouri in early life but removed to Iowa and settled in Long Creek Township in what was known as "Tennessee", so called from the fact that several families from Tennessee had settled there. 'UNCLE JOHN', as he was familiarly called, was twice married, was the father of five sons and six daughters, all living, I believe, but one daughter.
His remains were taken to the Christian Church in "Tennessee" where funeral services were held by the writer in the presence of a large company of relatives and friends who had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one they loved. Although 'UNCLE JOHN' had not made a public profession of faith, his life showed that he was a believer in Christ. He was a kind hearted old gentleman, one we always loved to meet and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. We have hope in his death.
