W F 4/12 Dau S MO MO MO ------------------------------------------------------------- I could find no GOFORTH listed in our census transcriptions for 1900, 1910, or 1920. Rachel Elizabeth GOFORTH is the only Goforth listed in the Maries County Cemetery Book, buried in the STRICKLAN CEMETERY as follows: RACHEL ELIZABETH, Wife of W.F.B. GOFORTH Born Oct 29 1857, Died Oct 1 1881 Nip'd in the opening bloom of youth With scarce a moment's warning given Summoned early from this earth To grace with smiles the court of heaven ------------------------------------------------------------------------- David--I personally know of Goforth's who lived next-door in Dixon (Pulaski County) so you might look there. Good luck-----Melinda P.S. I hope I got all this accurate. I'll check it again when I get home from work and write back if I see an error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wednesday, October 24, 2001, at 05:49 AM, Shirley A Scott wrote: > Forwarded by the ListAdmin for: > "Virginia Jackson" <v.l.jackson@worldnet.att.net> > > I was looking for information regarding the Goforth family.
