Notes - Obit: Gospel Herald Good.--
Peter, son of the late Chris and Pheobe Good, was born at Hopedale, Ill., Oct. 22, 1863; died very suddenly at his home in Fisher, Ill., Sept. 19, 1946; aged 82 y. 10 m. 27 d. As a young man he gave his life to Christ and united with the Hopedale Mennonite Church. On Feb. 4, 1892, he was united in marriage to Mary Naffziger. They first lived at Flanagan, and then moved to a farm near Rantoul. There they lived until five years ago, when they retired and moved to Fisher. Surviving are his widow, 4 sons (LeRoy, Ivan, and Joseph, all of Rantoul; and Arthur, Paxton, Ill., 5 daughters (Carrie--Mrs. Ezra Yordy, Eureka, Ill.; ElsieMrs. Emanuel Birkey, Kouts, Ind.; Laura--Mrs. Jesse Heiser, of Fisher; Alta--Mrs. Lester Hershey, Chicago, Ill.; and Bessie--Mrs. Melvin Greiser, Dewey, Ill.), 32 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, one sister (Mrs. John Reeser, Metamora, Ill.), and a large number of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held Sept. 22 at the home, in charge of Harold Zehr, and at the East Bend Church, Fisher, in charge of J. A. Heiser, C. L. Graber, and C. F. Derstine. Burial was made in the East Bend Mennonite Cemetery.
Four of Peter’s sons sang together for years at East Bend Mennonite Church--many times for funerals. Peter drove the team of horses which pulled the hearse to the cemetery, according to an interview in “By the Bend of the River” video.
Peter purchased 309 acres of land in Section 13 of East Bend Township from John Wingle on March 7, 1900. August Unzicker had formerly lived on this farm. The Good family came to the area from Livingston County.
