St. Clair County Obits

JOSEPH B. GOOD

Lowry City Independent
3 October 1929
Lowry City and this section of St. Clair County was shocked Tuesday, when the report came that J.B. Good, cashier of the Lowry City Bank, had passed away at the Trinity-Lutheran hospital in Kansas City at about 6 o’clock that morning.
While some were aware that Mr. Good had been in poor health for some time and had been quite ill for the past several weeks, the severity of his illness was not realized and his death came as a distinct shock to the whole community.
Joseph B. Good has been a resident of Lowry City for many years. He was connected with the schools here for several years, and 26 years ago he accepted a position as bookkeeper under E.D. Sayles then cashier in the Lowry City Bank. After several years, Mr. Sayles removed to Clinton, and Mr. Good was promoted to his position, which he has held since. Many persons in the community have depended on him for advice and assistance in business matters and he will be greatly missed from the life of our community.
His wife and two sons, Melville of St. Louis, and Wallace Reid of the home, survive.
Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. A.N. Lindsey of Clinton, at the Lowry City M.E. Church at 2:30 o’clock this (Thursday) afternoon. Burial will be in the Lowry City cemetery. The Masonic lodge will have charge of the services.
The Independent will print a more extended sketch of Mr. Good’s life in its issue of next week.
