Lake Odessa Wave – Thursday, 2 May 1935
Goodemoot, Russell Wolcott
DOD:  Monday, 22 April 1935

Russell Wolcott Goodemoot was born October 23, 1868, at West Sebewa and died 
at his home in Lake Odessa, Monday, April 22, 1935, aged 66 years, six 
months.  He was the fifth child of John Goodemoot and Mary Creighton.  Both 
his parents had by a previous marriage, four children each.  This consequently 
made a large group relationship.

Bereft of a father at the age of 15 years he had charge of the home with a 
mother and a blind uncle.  July 4, 1891 he was united in marriage to Dora 
Estep who died December 21, 1917.  To this union nine children were born.  The 
first of September, 1919, he moved his family to the village of Lake Odessa 
placing the five children at home, in high school here.  He has been a farmer 
all his life not relinquishing his interest after leaving the farm.

Early in life he united with the Presbyterian Church.  Later when a Church of 
Christ was organized at West Sebewa, near his home, he joined there.  During 
the pastorate of the Rev. Ora F. Bulman he united with the Methodist church 
here where he has been a faithful member until his death.  His special 
interest was in the choir where he was always present.  His thought for the 
Easter music was often in his mind during his illness.

He was a direct descendant through his mother of Oliver Wolcott, a signer of 
the Declaration of Independence.  He made many friends wherever he went who 
will greatly miss his coming.

Card of Thanks:
We and our beloved husband and father deeply appreciated the many acts of 
thoughtfulness tendered him during his sickness – for these their continuation 
and the kindly assistance received since, we can only say “thank you” as words 
fail to express our sincere appreciation.  The many kindnesses will never be 
forgotten.

Mrs. L. A. Dann-Goodemoot and the children.
