Elkader Register, Thur., 30 Apr. 1891.

Another old settler of this county has answered the summons and has passed to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. On Tuesday afternoon, April 28th, at Guttenberg, Iowa, occurred the death of Calvin P. Goodrich, at the age of 74 years. Mr. Goodrich was borne in Cayuga county, N.Y., in 1817, and resided there until 21 years of age, when he came west, locating at Quincy, Ill. Five years later he moved to Hazel Green, Wis., and thence to Clayton county in 1849. In 1875 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace and has held the office from that time until the past two or three years. He has held several township offices, and at one time was a member of the board of supervisors. Whatever position he held he performed the duties of office in such a manner as to win the confidence and respect of all. He leaves a wife, one son, Frank, and three daughters, Mrs. John Luther, Mrs. M. Horsch and Mrs. Herman Schroeder, and a large circle of friends to mourn his death. The funeral will take place Friday afternoon under the auspices of Prairie la Porte Lodge, No. 147, A.F. & A,M., of which he was the __rst master.
