William Goan Dies__Mt. Idaho, Aged 83

  William A. Goan, who lived in this county for 51 years, died at his home at 
Mt. Idaho Tuesday, March 2, and will be buried tomorrow from the Hancock 
Funeral Chapel, with the interment in the cemetery at Mt. Idaho.  Death was 
due to old age and Mr. Goan seemed to have some premonition of its coming, 
since he recently wrote the following account of his life:
  "I was born in Illinois, August 25, 1860.  In 1864 I crossed the plains 
with  my parents by team to Sacramento, Calif.  At the age of 17, I left home 
and went to Lebanon, Ore.   Three years later I went to Eastern Oregon, near 
Canyon City, and for several years worked on a cattle ranch.  On February 20, 
1886, I was married to Catherine I. Fogle.  In 1892, we moved to Camas Prairie 
and located at Mt. Idaho, and ranched some.  For several years I followed 
cooking in Lewiston and was camp cook near Vancouver, Wash., in 1937 until my 
health broke down."
  Mr. Goan then gave the names and birth dates of his eight children, of whom 
six are living.  Mrs. Goan passed away three years ago, on March 4, 1940.
  His daughters are Ida May Earp, Georgia Dean, Leora Ritz, Ruth Pollan, and 
Ella Leverhagen, the latter of San Francisco.  Ralph (Jack) Goan lives in 
Portland.  His sons Robert and Jim died in 1939 with a month of each other.
