ABRAM B. GOOD

Abram B. Good, son of Isaac and Fanny (Berkey) Good, was born in Medina County, O. on Sept. 6, 1861 [sic 1891]; died at the Wadsworth, O. Hospital on April 19, 1961, aged 69 years, seven months 13 days.

On Nov. 28, 1916 he was married to Elsie Eberly of Orrville, O., who survives. Also surviving are five daughter [sic]: (Mabel) Mrs. Morris Wenger, (Mary) Mrs. Ray Wenger, both of Dalton, O., (Esther) Mrs. Elmer Good of Orrville, O. (Pauline) Mrs. Allen Ressler, and (Beulah) Mrs. Ernest Horst, both of Wadsworth; 31 grandchildren; and one brother William of Wadsworth. He was preceded in death by his parents, one grandchild, two brothers, and one sister.

He was baptized in the Mennonite church in his youth. He was ordained to the ministry in 1917, in which capacity he served until Nov. 20, 1957, when he suffered a cerebral thrombosis from which he never fully recovered. However, he enjoyed visiting with those with whom he came in contact.

On March 30, 1961 he was taken to the Wadsworth Hospital with pneumonia, which was followed by another stroke.

Funeral services were held at the Bethel Mennonite Church west of Wadsworth on Saturday, April 22, in charge of Paul Horst and Cleophas Steiner.
