Norfolk Virginian May 31, 1877
FUNERAL OF THE LATE GEO. K. GOODRIDGE - The funeral of this estimable gentleman 
took place yesterday afternoon from the First Presbyterian church and was 
attended by a large concourse of the friends and acquaintances of the deceased 
and by Owens Lodge, No. 164 A.F. & A.M. The Rev. N. M. Woods, of the Second 
Presbyterian Church, assisted by Rev. J. M. Rose of Portsmouth, conducted the 
services, during which the choir rendered the hymn No. 655, "In vain the fancy 
strives to paint, the moment after death" and hymn No. 635, "I would not live 
always."
The Rev. Mr. Woods delivered a beautiful and touching sermon, taking his text 
from John xvii, 14th verse, "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given 
me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given 
me."
At the conclusion of the services, the remains were conveyed to Elmwood 
cemetery, whither they were followed by a lengthy procession, and after the 
usual ceremonies, they were placed in their last resting place. The following 
gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Judge Wm. H. Burroughs, from Owens Lodge No. 164 
A.F. & A.M , and Hon. John S. Tucker, W. W. Chamberlaine, Esq., Capt. J. N. 
Bell, W. D. Reynolds, Esq., Geo. C. Reid, Esq., and Capt. T. A. Williams.
