ARADNA ARABELLA WHITMORE GOODRICH 

"THIS PEW HAS BEEN PLACED IN THIS CHURCH IN MEMORY OF MOTHER - ARA A. GOODRICH"

  Ara Goodrich married Harry Lee Goodrich, Sr. in 1912 when she was 18 years 
old.  She was the sister to Boots Whitmore's father, Joel Whitmore.  Harry Lee 
and Ara had seven children - Doris, Harry Lee Jr., Woodland, Elva, Lester 
"Peter," Melvin and Lawrence "Buddy."  Ara died soon after giving birth to her 
seventh child.  She stayed at home and was a homemaker all of her life.  Ara 
was a sweet, quiet and reserved person and was an excellent cook.  Raisin pie 
was one of her specialties. 

  Ara was a member of Rocky Hock Church and is buried in Rocky Hock Cemetery. 
The pew was given by her son, Harry Lee Goodrich, Jr. and his wife, Marjorie. 

  Thanks to her son, Peter Goodrich, for the picture, and to her 
granddaughter, Sandra Goodrich, for much of the information.
