Goode, Catherine
The Passing of little Baby Catherine Goode
Little Catherine, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey Goode. whose brief earthy life came to a close Thursday evening at seven o'clock was born Nov. 4, 1928. For two short happy months this sweet, winsome baby flower grew in an earthly Child Garden, as it were, and then God touched it for transplanting.
When it became known Thursday morning that the little one was seriously ill with pneumonia, physicians were summoned and all that could be done was done to save the little life, but to no avail and, at seven o’clock Baby Catherine’s spirit passed beyond.
On Friday, at 2 o’clock sympathetic friends, together with the family, gathered about the tiny white casket, as the choir softly sang “God Will Take Care of You." "Suffer the Children to Come Unto Me” was sung by Hazel Burford by request of the Cradle Roll Department which little Catherine was a member. These touching songs were followed by an unusually sweet, impressive and comforting service led by Rev. McKinney, at the conclusion of which interment took place at the City [Masonic] Cemetery.
Sweet little Catherine had endeared herself not only to the parents and grandparents who adored her, but to relatives, friends and neighbors, all of whom shall miss her sadly.
Though not understanding God's ways, we believe in His goodness. We know He doeth all things well and we commend the sorrowing ones to His love.
Parents, whose little one lies asleep,
Safely n God's care.
Kept evermore beyond all weeping,
Oh, may you share
That tender comforting He giveth
To hearts o’erborne,
"I live, and lo your loved one liveth;
No longer mourn?'
A FRIEND.

One of the saddest duties of the average newspaper man is to record the death of a lifelong friend. In recording the death of James Allen Goode, the writer feels keenly his inability to express his sentiments and tell of the manifold virtues of this truly noble, good young man. Knowing him from early childhood, we were at all times attracted toward him, and we regarded him as one of the truest and best friends we ever possessed. A man every inch of him, true as steel to his friends, without a semblance of deceit about him, correct in his deportment at all times, displaying the same cheerful temperament under any and all circumstances, " a man among men," he was welcomed at any and all gatherings. Wherever he lived he was popular among men, women and children, for he was kind, considerate and courteous at all times to everyone with whom he came in contact. Allen was that way as a boy, and as a man. Wherever he lived he was highly thought of by all. His cheerful disposition, always looking on the bright side of life, no matter how discouraging the circumstances, was truly remarkable and always marked him as a man of most even temperament. Despite the fact that disease made him an invalid for many months prior to his death, he never lost his cheerfulness, and during his critical condition for weeks he bore up cheerfully, inspiring those about him with the hope that after all perhaps poor Allen would survive. But it was not [to] be. The Saviour called him, and Saturday afternoon of last week, the poor, tired spirit gave up the battle and joined its Creator in that heavenly home above where sickness, suffering and parting are unknown.
Poor Allen! Only those closely associated with him can realize the sufferings he endured the long months of his illness, and how he bore up so cheerfully is something that puzzled us all. Few people in this life could do so, yet he never murmured and was cheerful to the last. In life he was a solace and comfort to those about him. In death all realize that he has gone to a better home than any of us possess on this earth, and in his death we can only reecho the sentiments expressed by the heartbroken father at the grave: "I know where Allen has gone, and with the help of God I am going to meet him there."
Allen was married to Miss Alma Scholar a number of years ago, and she, with a little son and daughter, survive him. For several years the family lived near Eagle Lake, where Mr. Goode was engaged in farming and stock raising. Later he accepted the management of a ranch near Lissie and lived there up to the time he was stricken with the disease which caused his death -- sorosis[sic] of the liver. He was under treatment for months prior to the time he went to San Antonio to be operated on. Following the operation all hoped that he would be restored to good health. But it proved a vain hope. He returned home Wednesday of last week, but it was only to take to his bed and die in the arms of the loved ones about him.
Our heart is inexpressibly saddened over the death of this truly good man and friend, yet we bow in humble submission to the will of the Father, knowing that we will in time understand why poor Allen was taken from us at a time when life held out for him so many hopes and aspirations. "They will, not ours, be done." God be merciful to the bereaved ones left behind is our sincere prayer.

Funeral Monday; Allen Goode in Army Hospital
Funeral services for James Dewey Goode, Jr., 20, and Byron Wesley Goode, 16, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Goode of Osage, who were killed early Sunday in a train-car crash near Borden, were held from the family home, the Rev. J. H. Thompson officiating. Interment was made in the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
Walter Allen Goode, 23, a son of Mrs. Alma Goode of Houston and a cousin of the two boys, is in the Army Base Hospital in San Antonio with possible internal injuries. He is expected to recover.
The Goode car, a 1935 Chevrolet sedan, was struck by an eastbound passenger train at about 3 o’clock Sunday morning. It is believed that all three of the boys were in the front seat, with J. D. driving. Allen sitting in the middle, and Byron on the right. The train hit the car at about the rear left wheel, spinning it around and ripping off the entire left side. All three of the victims were thrown out, and one of the bodies was found more than a hundred feet from the car.
Wreckage was strewn for thirty or forty yards down the track from the crossing, known as Herring’s Crossing, on the old San Antonio-Houston highway. The steel cover of the car trunk was found against a fence post forty yards from the car, and both seats were thrown out.
According to the engineer, after the crash, he uncoupled the engine from his train and hurried to Columbus, where he reported the accident. An ambulance from the Columbus Funeral Home was sent to the scene of the accident, taking the injured Allen Goode to the Bell Hospital in Columbus and returning for the bodies of the two victims, who had been killed instantly.
“J. D.” as he was known to his many friends, and Byron, both attended the Osage and Weimar schools. J. D. was born January 24, 1921, and Byron April 11, 1925. Both were born and reared at their Osage home. They were grandsons of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Goode of that section.
Surviving besides their parents and grandparents are four sisters, Maggie Laura, Doris, Gertrude and Inez.
The injured boy, Allen Goode, is the son of the late Mr. Allen Goode and Mrs. Alma Goode of Houston, and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Goode. He was a volunteer in the army, home on a furlough.
