Son of Fred T Goode and Sorena Belle Snow
Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, July 14, 1914, p. 4.
But George Goode, of Co., H, Expires Before Officer Comes.
(From Friday's Daily.)
Realizing that he was to soon face his Creator and desiring to make his peace, George Goode, a member of Co. H, National Guard, last night sent for his captain, Capt. Rev. T. R. White, but before his commander arrived the boy had expired and the spirit gone to face the Commander of the Universe.
Young Goode's death ended an interesting career which began before his reformation a year ago. He will be remembered as the young man who make a sensational break out of the county jail to liberty with the famous George Gatlin, who was the leader and cut a hole through a thick brick wall. Crawling through the small opening the two young men escaped. It was weeks later when the two were captured in Illinois and returned to this city. They were in prison on a larceny charge and Goode was paroled and had apparently reformed his ways of life. He was 21 years of age and a son of Fred Goode, a blacksmith on west 7th street.
Goode had been working in Indianapolis, but three weeks ago returned home in a serious condition, with the yellow jaundice. A sister Miss Myrtle Goode has been living in Indianapolis and is employed at the Block department store. The father and mother and two small brothers survive.
Because of Goode's connection with Co. H a military funeral will be held tomorrow at 2:30 in charge of Capt. White. A gun carriage will be improvised and the casket will be carried to Rose Hill cemetery upon the carriage which will be manned by militiamen.

Military Funeral of George Goode of Company H.
(From Saturday's Daily)
In the Army or Navy when a soldier or sailor dies he rides to his final resting place on a gun carriage, the casket containing his body being draped with an American flag, a guard of uniformed men proceeding the gun carriage, the pall bearers at the side and a firing squad bringing up the rear. This afternoon George Goode, a member of Company H, was buried at Rose Hill cemetery with full military honors and an improvised gun carriage carried the body to Rose Hill.
Goode has been a member of Co. H for several years and always took a great interest in the National Guard work. His death was caused by yellow jaundice and when he knew he was dying he asked that the Company H commander, Capt. T. R. White be sent for. Owing to a misunderstanding the Captain did not reach the soldier's bedside before his death.
