Death of Mrs. Angeline Gooden

Died, at her home in Webster township, at three o’clock p.m., on December 11, 1898, of heart and stomach trouble, Mrs. Angeline Gooden.

During her last hours in the afternoon she talked with her family, her pastor and friends, and bade all her family good-bye with a kiss. To her pastor, who conversed and prayed with her, she stated that her hope of salvation in Christ was strong and that she would soon be at rest.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Salter, at Wesley Chapel, on December 13, at 9 o’clock.

Mrs. Gooden had lived in Iowa for 45 years. She was born in Ohio, and reared in Indiana. In the year 1851 she was married to William Gooden, who died February 27, 1886. She has always been a good and faithful mother and leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn her loss. She was a faithful member of the Methodist church, to which she had belonged ever since she was 17 years old.

Her fatal sickness began in last August. One hour before she died she asked the time of day, and said that she would soon be with the angels, and she conversed up to within five minutes of her death. During her suffering she would sing, “Why not Come to Him Now?”
