Ionia County News, 9 May 1946

Mrs. Annie B. Goodrich died at her home, 401 Union St., at five o’clock 
Saturday afternoon, May 4.  She was 82 years old and had been failing in health 
for months.

She was born July 1, 1863 (the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg) in North 
Plains township, to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Freeman, early Ionia county 
pioneers, who came from Massachusetts.  When she was a small child her parents 
came to Ionia and a few years later, to Lyons.  She lived in Lyons until the 
death of her parents, then came to Ionia and lived with Mr. and Mrs. Frank 
Freeman until her marriage to Frederick G. Goodrich, on Easter Sunday, April 
18, 1897, by Rev. Oxtoby of the Presbyterian church.

Mrs. Goodrich was one of the oldest members of the Presbyterian church, also a 
member of the Ionia Chapter D. A. R.   Her ancestry is said to date back to 
Gen. George Washington and the Battles of Concord and Bunker Hill in the 
Revolutionary War.

She is survived by her husband, Frederick G. Goodrich; three children, Mrs. 
Paul Courter, Ionia; Larned G. Goodrich, Birmingham, and Mrs. Beulah Augusta 
Warner, Caro.  Also three grandchildren and a niece, Mrs. Fannie Spaulding of 
Lyons.

Rev. A. J. Westmaas officiated at the funeral service, held from the Stone 
funeral home Tuesday afternoon.  Pall bearers were R. N. Stevenson, Fred 
Wortman, Lloyd T. Smith, M. Webster, Leo McAlary and Roy Weber.  Burial was in
