nee Jean Magdalene Martin, d/o Walter Warfield & Maude Ellen (Trusler) Martin. [no file] [Trusler_William_Susan]

 

Clarence Edward Goad went to be with his Father in Heaven Wednesday, April 17, 2013. A beloved husband, father and grandfather, he was surrounded by his family at home when he passed from this life.
He had fought a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Up until his diagnosis last fall, he had been blessed with good health.
Throughout his 87 years, he was devoted to his family and church.
He met his wife, Magdalene, at New Haven Baptist Church and shortly thereafter made a profession of faith. Since that time, he has served faithfully in the church. He became a deacon in 1952 and continued that service until his death. He was also a church trustee. As an usher, he liked to greet people with a smile and handshake. He enjoyed helping in the Sunday School office.
A hard worker, he liked to rise early and put in a full day, whether it was on the farm, in the woods or at the sawmill. He and brothers Clyde and Glen began working with their father Eddie, a lumber man, at an early age. He and Clyde, who live on adjoining farms, continued the family business until his death.
Clarence was born on June 25, 1925. He spent his early childhood on the Buffalo Mountain, and was one of four children born to Eddie and Ada Goad. When he was a young boy, the family moved to a home on what is now Woods Gap Road. His mother eventually opened a country store and operated it for several years. Clarence attended Mount Ruffner School on Haycock Mountain.
During World War II, Clarence was doing field maneuvers training in the Army in Texas when a machine gun rolled off a ramp and crushed his right heel. After being treated at a hospital there, he was transferred to Johns Hopkins in Maryland and then the Valley Forge Hospital in Pennsylvania. He spent over a year in the hospitals.
In recent years, Clarence and Clyde have operated a beef cattle farm and sawmill. In addition to the cows, Clarence has also enjoyed his donkeys, Jenny and Jill.
He and Magdalene followed their grandchildren's athletic years at Floyd County High School and became avid Buffalo fans.
Family was very important to Clarence, and he worked hard to provide for his family. He loved his grandchildren, and he was anticipating the birth of his first great-grandchild.
At New Haven, Clarence was a member under the leadership of three pastors, the Rev. Joe Falls, the Rev. Leon Wood, and his current pastor, the Rev. John Chambers.
He was preceded in death by a son, Joseph Edward, his parents, Eddie and Ada Goad, and a brother, Glen Goad.
He will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife of 61 years, Magdalene; two daughters and their husbands, Wanda and Bobby Combs, Susan and Tony Brown; four grandchildren, Abby Combs, Alex Combs, Maggie Brown Lance and her husband Abram, Molly Brown and her friend Matt Willie; a brother, Clyde Goad; a sister, Lena Nolen; cousins, Bobby Ayers, Roger Goad and Paul Goad; sister-in-law and husband, Edna and James Agnew; numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives; his church family and other friends.
Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, 2013, at New Haven Baptist Church with the Reverend John Chambers, the Reverend Leon Wood, and the Reverend Murray Agee officiating Serving as pallbearers are Marvin Radford, Dennis Anderson, Thurman Wray, Ronnie Bolt, Phillip Martin, and Larry Martin.
Interment will follow at Jacksonville Cemetery with graveside military rites conducted by Floyd County V.F.W. Post # 7854 and Floyd American Legion Post # 127.
Friends may call on Friday after 5 p.m. at New Haven Baptist Church, where the family will be from 5 until 7 p.m.

Nancy was the greatgranddaughter of the Rev. John Kellog and Chloe Bigelow Harris whose lives were integrated in the history of the town and the people of Floyd and with the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church at Floyd Courthouse beginning in 1872. They also continued their mission ministry to the Choctaw in Red Cloud and Scotia, Nebraska, and with the founding and operation of the Oxford Academy in Floyd. Nancy spent many happy hours with her great aunt, Susan Harris Hall at “‘Summertime”, Ma Sue’s residence in Floyd. Nancy was predeceased by her beloved husband, John P. Goss, of Huntington and Forest Hills, N.Y., whom she had married in 1967. They subsequently retired to Orlando and Ormond Beach, Fla. She is survived by her stepchildren, Peter (Carol) and Edgar (Janet) Goss, of Red Hook and New York City, N.Y., and Cathy (Edward) Luwisch, of Ormond Beach, Fla. Nancy is also survived by her brother, John Kellog Harris; and sister-in-law, Katherine Akers, of Williamstown, Mass., and Chautauqua, N.Y., and their children, Susan Harris Akers and her husband, Richard Dowling, of Denville, N.J., John K. H. Akers Jr., of Denver, Colo., James and Mary Pat Akers, of Great Barrington, Mass., Richard and Stephanie Akers, of Florham Park, N.J.; and six greatnieces and nephews living in Denver, Great Barrington and Florham Park . Nancy was born April 2, 1927 in Birmingham, Ala., to Arthur Kellog and Nancy Sports Akers and in 1937 moved with the family to New York City. She graduated from Mt. Holyoke in 1949, and earned a Masters in Library Science from Pratt institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. In accord with her wishes, her ashes were interred in the Jacksonville Burial Grounds in Floyd and scattered in wild flowered meadows and at an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway, whose inspiring visa’s she always loved. A memorial service was held in November, 2009 in Williamstown, Mass., at St. John’s Episcopal Church. This is the location of Williams College, from which John Kellog Harris graduated in 1852 and is near Mt. Holyoke College from which Chloe Bigelow graduated prior to 1850 and from which Nancy Akers Goss graduated in 1949. Funeral arrangements were handled by the Wood Funeral Home of Floyd.
