A Sudden Death
Young Clayton Township Farmer Drops Dead
A. C. Goforth, a well known and comparatively young Clayton Township farmer, died suddenly Sunday morning at 11:30, aged 32 years, 7 months and 14 days.
The deceased had been in his usual apparent good health, and his sudden death was a terrible shock to bereaved wife and fatherless little ones.
The deceased was a hard working man, a kind husband and father and accommodating neighbor.
Arthur C. Goforth was born in Knox County, Illinois, July 17, 1873, and removed with his parents, from there to Seward County, Nebr., where he lived until he was 19 years of age when he went to Carlisle, Warren County, Iowa to live with an uncle. While there he united with the Christian church. About ten years ago he came to Taylor County where he has since resided. He was united in marriage to Miss Mary [Elizabeth] Dawson, Dec. 12, 1897. To this union were born five children: Rennie, Ruthie, Ruby, Earl and Glenn, all of whom are still living, except Earl, who died about two years ago.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, four children, father and two brothers, all of whom were present, except his brother, William, who is at Wichita, Kansas.
The funeral will be held at the Christian church in Bedford tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10 a. m., conducted by Rev. Price, assisted by Rev. Philip Jackson. Interment at Titus cemetery.
