' DEATH OF KISSELL GOODNEY
After nearly three years ot as game
& fight for life as a man ever made,
Uusaell J. Coodncy, son of Captain an. I
Mrs. S. G. Goodney, passed away about
10:00 o'clock a. xa. on July 8. Russell
developed - dlabetls. which showed
itself Just aa he was discharged froiu
the army In 1919 and, although he was
given every attention that loving par
ents could give, and he took every pre
caution In an effort to stop the disease,
It had gained uch a headway that it
finally caused his death. He was
game to the very last for, although
he paEned away resignedly, yet he did
not give up until tho very last min
ute. The deceased was 25 yearn of age at
death and was born at lshpemlng,
coming with his parents to the Crys
tal Falls mining district about twenty
years ago. His basic education was
secured In the Crystal Falls schools
and when his parents moved to Stam
baugh It was Just the time for Rus
sell to start his high school education
which he completed In the Stambaugh
schools and then went to Stout Man
ual Training school at Menominee
Wis., to perfect himself as a. manual
training teacher. He finished the
course in the summer of 1918 and Im
mediately Joined the American army,
going into training in August of that
year. Ho was assigned to search
light work, ft branch of the army that
calls for much night work that is con
fining. He was about to sail for
Franc with his regiment when the
armistice wa4 signed. While waiting
to be mustered out in one of the
camps he commenced t'o lose weight
and ascribed it to the hot weather. He
was mustered out at Camp Custer and
given a clean bill of health, although
investigation made rigm aner me ui- j
charge showed that his dlabetls was
well along in its strangle hold upon
him at the time.
He went to the sanlt'arium at Wau
kesha, Wis. and stayed there almost
continuously In an effort to regain his
shattered health. He gradually grew
weaker, although keeping up a cheer
ful front, even engaging in an oil
agency business1 to take up hi time
and attention.
These efforts proved of no avail and
he at last surrendered and his young
life passed out Just' as lts use
fulness Bhould have begun.
Hussell Goodney was a model young
hian. He early attached himself to
the Methodist church and was a faith
ful member. He was adopted into the
Masonic order Immediately upon at
taining his majority and the burial
Mghts of that order were performed
at the home on Monday last. af'er
which the remains were taken to the
M. K. Church In Crystal Falls where
llev. Uickford performed the last re
ligious rites over the remains.
The wort was taken from the
Thomas Farrell Pot of Che American
Legion to which he belonged. The
remains were taken from the church
to tho Masonic hall where they were
kept until tho following jnornlng
when they wero taken to lshpemlng
for burial. An Wort of the Crystal
Falld Masonic lodge accompanied the
remulna a.nd they were taken immed
iately from the train to the cemetery.
