Evla Bushong Good Dies Suddenly

The news of the death of Miss Evla Bushong Good on Wednesday, December 14, 1955, came as a shock to the New Market community as she appeared to be in good health a few short days before her body was found.

The Rev. N. J. Miller, her pastor, accompanied by Mrs. Miller called at her home about 5:30 p. m. on Wednesday and not finding her about the house looked about the premises for her. Her body was discovered in the barn and it was thought that she expired in the morning as a result of a heart attack when she went to the barn to milk a cow.

Miss Good was the daughter of the late Timothy Good, who died on October 30, 1899, three months before the birth of his only child on January 28, 1900.

Her mother was the late Mrs. Mattie Florence Bushong Good, who died on June 1st, 1955, so the deceased was the last surviving member of her family.

The whole of her life was spent at her home just north of New Market. She enjoyed a close and loving relationship with her mother and after the mother's death last June, she bore the grief, her mother's passing with true Christian resignation. She lived alone following the death of her mother but made frequent trips into town where she had many old friends.

Miss Good was a devout member of the Cedar Grove Church of the Brethren.

Funeral services have been planned for 2 p. m. on Friday from Cedar Grove Church of the Brethren with burial to follow in the Cedar Grove Cemetery.

Pallbearers are to be Carl Estep, John Buhl, Henry Tusing, R. S. Dove, David Good and Fred Neff.

The body is now at the Theis Funeral Home and will be moved to Cedar Grove Church at 1 p. m. on Friday, one hour before the services are to take place.
