Taken ill on the previous Sunday, Mrs. Goodpaster's condition became at once critical and little hope for her recovery was held as the crisis of her illness approached. Her sudden death came as a shock to her family and friends. The widow of the late Robert Lee Goodpaster, she came of a prominent and well-to-do Bath county family. She was a daughter of the late Richard and Cynthia Dawson Tapp, born August 10, 1877. Her husband preceded her to the grave many years ago. Surviving her are two children, one daughter, Mrs. Enoch White, and a son, Omar Goodpaster, both of this county. Funeral services were held at the residence Sunday afternoon, January 16, at two o'clock, conducted by the Rev. George C. Frey, pastor of the Owingsville Christian church. Interment was in the family lot in the Owingsville Cemetery. Pall-bearers were Jeff Carpenter, Tom Duff, Espie Staton, Cecil Karrick, Bob Roberts, Walter Shrout, Clyde Brown and Fred Reynolds.
