Salina Haviland Goodenow-

Mrs. Hosea Goodenow died on Thursday, December 5, 1901, at 2:30 p.m., at her 
home at Wright’s corners 2 ½ miles south of town. Her maiden name was Salina 
Haviland and the place of her birth was Glens Falls, New York, where she first 
saw the light on March 11, 1836. Here she grew to womanhood in the midst of a 
large family. In 1855 she came west and settled in Iowa and a year later was 
happily married to Mr. Hosea Goodenow, and together they toiled, shared the 
joys and sorrows of pioneer life until her husband’s death left her a widow, 
March 4, 1892. Two children came to cheer this home, Luke and Josie, with whom 
she lived the remainder of her life. During the last months she suffered much, 
but bore up bravely, seldom giving way to complaint. She was thinking only of 
the welfare of her children and was patient in her last trial. The home is 
desolate, but the son will have the happy memory that he did all in his power 
to make his mother’s last hours on earth comfortable, and the daughter, 
because of ill heath and because of her mother’s wish that she should stay in 
California, was not privileged to be at her mother’s bedside, will have the 
assurance that a home is being prepared in her Father’s house on high. A 
sister, Mrs. Emma Conery of Maquoketa, who attended her in her last illness, 
and four brothers in Glens Falls, also mourn the loss of Aunt Salina as she 
was usually called, as well as a host of relatives and friends. Funeral 
services were held at her late home on Sunday at 2 p.m., Rev. D. F. 
Boomershine officiating and interment was made in Mt. Hope cemetery.
