Obituary

Millie Roberts Goforth was born in Tanny county, Missouri, August 9, 1855. She was called home to glory Wednesday, Aug. 13th at the age of 75 years and 4 days. She suffered a stroke of paralysis ten years ago, and had been a cripple, walking with one crutch ever since. Her last illness was of only one days duration, death being due to heart trouble.

At an early age she moved with her parents to Arkansas, where she met and married Calvin Goforth, who preceded her in death 38 years ago. Five children were born to this union, two of whom survive her. William Goforth of Fruitland and John of Tenino, Wash. Both of these and their families were present at her funeral. She moved here from Washington with her son about two years ago, and has made her home here since.

Early in life the deceased gave her heart to God, through faith in Jesus Christ. She united with the Baptist church, through which she was a faithful member at the time of her death.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Fruitland Friday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Henry Jacobs of New Plymouth conducting the services in the absence of the pastor, Rev. M. L. Rickman. Interment was made in Park View cemetery in New Plymouth.

The bereaved family appreciates the find services of Mr. Jacobs, the help of the singers and pall bearers and the warm sympathy of friends who provided the floral offerings.
