Goodwin Brothers Are Laid To Rest At Walnut Grove

Funeral services were conducted last Friday afternoon at Walnut Grove Cemetery for Frank and John Goodwin, brothers who were found dead in a mine shaft July 17. Rev. Alvin Booher of Phoenix, former Assembly of God pastor in Wickenburg, officiated.

The brothers, who ranched some 16 miles from Wickenburg, had been pumping water from the shaft when they were overcome by carbon monoxide.

Frank was born January 18, 1885, at Pleasant Valley. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Norma Purser of Phoenix and Mrs. Aurelia Mary Nurme of Wickenburg; a son, Alvin P. of New York; and two sisters, Mrs. Grace Shew and Mrs. Gadie Brown of Albuquerque, N. M.

John, born at Walnut Grove on April 7, 1888, is survived by the wife, Florence May; a daughter, Miss Florence Alene Goodwin of Phoenix; and two sisters.

Several friends from the Wickenburg area attended the services.
