OBITUARY
MERVIN WILLARD GOOD
The deceased, Mervin Willard Good, was born in Summit Lake
township, January 11, 1893, and died, March 12, 1910, aged 17 years, two months
and one day. He had always lived in the township, where he was born. Mervin was
sick only about two weeks. His illness started with what was supposed to be the
la grippe, but developed into appendicitis, which resulted in blood-poisoning,
terminating fatally.
The deceased was a bright promising, manly boy with many
friends, and with a promising future before him; but our wise and kind Heavenly
Father thought it better for him to dwell and develop in that land, where there
are no temptations, sorrows or pain - where the soul is not hampered by a body
that becomes ill and a heart that becomes sore.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Good, four brothers, three
sisters and many friends are left to mourn his early death.
The bereaved have the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community.
The funeral was held in the Reading Presbyterian church and
interment took place at Summit Lake cemetery. Dr. L.L. Sowles, of Worthington,
officating.
