C. B. Goodale, 77 Dies At Home Here Monday

The death at his home here on Monday of C. B. Goodale marked the passing of another pioneer citizen, a man who had been closely identified with the growth and development of the village since his arrival in the community 62 years ago.

Mr. Goodale owned and operated a dairy business here for a number of years, disposing of his interests in 1937.

During his years of residence in the village, Mr. Goodale took an active part in all affairs of a civic and progressive nature. He held several offices of public trust.

O. ((Lucy) Narverud, both of Fertile. Also surviving are a brother, Sidney, of Randall, Minn., a sister, Mrs. Martin of Salem, Ore., 28 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
