Mr. Goforth passed away at Williams November 7 after a lingering illness at the age of 69 years. He was one of the early pioneers, born at Potter Valley September 8, 1875. He came to Covelo where he engaged in farming and stock raising, but had to discontinue work several years ago on account of ill health. He bore his afflictions uncomplainingly. He was highly regarded as a business man and had a great many friends and his passing is a great sorrow among them. Pallbearers were nephews of the deceased, Ted Goforth, Earl Goforth, Burdis Martindale, John Taylor, Gene Harpe and "Pud" Goforth. The beauty of the chapel with the many floral tributes in the background, the soft music in muted harmony, the comforting message to the bereaved relatives, delivered by Rev. Stotts of the Methodist church, were perfect. H. H. Moore of Colusa was soloist and sang "Goodnight Here, But Good Morning Up There" and "In the Garden." And in closing the organist played "Going Home." Interment was in the Williams Cemetery with J. D. McNary officiating. Those who mourn his passing are his wife, Bertha Goforth of Williams, and six children, Irma Hurt, Lola English, Jack Goforth of Williams, Frank Goforth, Jr., of Arbuckle, Everett Goforth of Ukiah, Elmer Goforth of Covelo, 11 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. There are stars that go out in the darkness When the silvery light shineth on, There are roses whose perfume still lingers When blossoms are faded and gone There are hearts full of light and sweetness When no longer this life current flows. Still their goodness lives on with the living Like the soul of the star and the rose.
