I saw somewhere a Olive Fee who married Loivas Glassburn had a daughter who married a Gooch. Since the Fee is my line I kind of perked up my ears but don't know where I saw it. Oh, well , it will come to me one of these days. Cheryl Ash689@aol.com wrote:Here is the obit of Charles N. Gooch. Please put my name with it and my email. I think I am the only person in the world researching this family and It may be a miracle if I ever find another person in this family!! Thanks. Karen Seibert The following obit was found in a box of pictures belonging to Debbie Gooch. It was a very dark copy of the original newspaper obit. In Memory Charles N. Gooch, son of Robert and Mary Jane Gooch, was born August 17, 1846, and died June 11, 1921, aged 74 years, 9 months, and 25 days. He suffered the loss of his first wife, Mary Moore, who died in May, 1882, leaving four daughters, Mrs. Gertrude Lewis and Mrs. J.J. Borger of Columbus, while Mrs. William Upton and Mrs. Charles Graham preceded their father in death. In May 1887, he married Mary Rees, who died Oct. 2, 1910. To this union were born six children, Mrs. Floyd Cardwell of Bidwell, Miss Edith Gooch, Columbus, Mrs. Floyd Logue, Kenmore, Mrs. Everett Deckard, Vinton, Robert R. Gooch, Vinton, and one child who died in infancy. He leaves 14 grandchildren and four brothers, James M. and David E. of Vinton, William R. of Bidwell and John R. of rising Sun, Ohio and one sister, Mrs. Sarah Waples of Huntsville, Ohio. It can be truly stated that the departed was blessed with a kind and tender spirit toward everyone, enjoyed happiness with others and shared their sorrow in grief. Endowed by nature with a peaceful and gentle disposition, hi s character was full of kindness, sympathy, righteousness, friendship and love for everyone. The bodily affliction that had disabled him for a number of years made even stronger these noble traits of his character. With a steadfast conviction for righteousness, he became a member of the Baptist Church at Harris and exemplified a clean, Christian life. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at Mt. Tabor, conducted by Rev. W.J. Fulton, burial by Butler. Card of thanks: We hereby express our thanks to all our neighbors and friends who so kindly gave their help and sympathy during the sickness, death, and funeral of our beloved father. The children.
