DEATH CLAIMS OLD RESIDENT OF AKRON

Adam Good, Who Lived Here 65 Years, Dies at Harry B. Dodge Home

Adam Good, 84 years old, resident of Akron for the past 65 years, died yesterday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harry B. Dodge, 730 W. Market st., following a 10 weeks' illness.

Mr. Good was born in Uhrweller (sic), Alsace, France, November 26, 1836. When 20 years old, he came to this country in a sailing vessel with his father, mother and sister, the voyage requiring 72 days. The Good family purchased a farm on W. Market st. in what is now one of the best residential districts of the city.

With the exception of a few years spent in Denver and Cleveland, Mr. Good lived on the family homestead during his entire life. Some years ago the farm was allotted and sold for residential purposes. Mr. Good has been retired from active business for many years.

Besides his daughter, Mrs. Dodge, Mr. Good is survived only by his sister, Mrs. Margaret Stolz, Fort Lupton, Colo.

Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock from Mrs. Dodge’s residence. Burial will be made at Glendale cemetery.
