The lady had been ill for some time, and that illness was of such a nature that little hope was entertained of her recovery… She was the ministering angel of a happy household, a neighbor untiring in well doing, in her church a shining light of beautific Christianity. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon under the direction of the Rebeccas, an order of which she was an active member.

Some days ago Mrs Glasgow gave birth to a child and to all appearances was rapidly recovering when unlooked for complications of the most alarming character set in. The nature of the trouble brought on temporary insanity, and the gravest fears were felt for the life of the patient. Through skillful medical treatment and the most tender and careful attendance and nursing the crises was fortunately passed over and at this writing the lady is not only very much improved but is on the road to speedy and permanent recovery.” (LCT: 3-24-1899) “Ada Glasgow.

Goldman,
Noble Jeffries:
(1914-2004); “Memorial service for Noble Jeffries Goldman, 89, is
scheduled at 3 p.m. Friday, June 18, at the Davenport United Methodist Church.
Mr Goldman died June 8 after a long battle with cancer.
Born July 13, 1914, in Louisville, KY, he went to work at an early age
with his only brother to support their mother. They lived in southern Indiana
and sometimes worked in Kentucky, crossing the Ohio River in a rowboat. When the
CCC camps opened in the 1930s, he boarded a train in Louisville and headed west,
finding himself in Pomeroy, WA, where he built erosion control dams on wheat
ranches. Of the $30 he was paid each month, he kept $5 and sent the balance home
to his family. After his marriage to Helen Cyrus in Pomeroy, the couple
moved to Davenport, where their son, Gene, was born. When the CCC camp closed,
they stayed and he worked at various jobs, including for the state Dept of
Transportation, retiring in 1976 after 15 years. Two years after the 1975 death of his wife, he married Ida
May Webber and inherited a large extended family. They traveled in their motor
home to Indiana to visit family, to Arizona several times and one summer to
Alaska. He built model antique cars and trucks and won several blue ribbons at
the county fair. He also helped a friend build a grandfather’s clock. His
hobbies included fishing, horseshoes, rock hounding, stone polishing and gem
faceting, picking huckleberries, camping and woodworking. He remodeled two
houses, built a boat and his own pool table. He also enjoyed cribbage and other
card games, dancing and fellowship with friends. He loved animals, especially
his Chihuahua dogs. Of the stray cats he adopted, his favorite was ‘Charlie’
with whom he had many conversations. He
belonged to the National Rifle Assn, Retired Public Employees Council and the
Davenport-Edwall United Methodist Church. He leaves his wife, Ida May; a son,
Gene (and Marcia); five grandchildren, Daniel, Rebecca, Gabriel, Bethany, Dana
(and Garnet); two great grandchildren, Alice and Asher; and many step children,
step grandchildren and step great grandchildren.” (Davenport Times: 6-17-2004)
