Born: Illinois, 1835.
Died:
A brother of G. M. Goode. Was a very active and useful preacher in Illinois in the earlier years. Entered the ministry in 1862. Served at Antioch, Berea and Literberry, in Morgan County, and Petersburg. These two brothers had quick wit and fine humor and were most enjoyable companions. But he went to Missouri more than thirty years ago.
In August, 1867, he conducted a public discussion at Palmyra, Ill., with Min. Richard McVey, of the M. E. Church. One of the speeches of Mr. Goode was full of unction, and as he spoke a Mr. Vancamp pressed his way to the front to make the good confession; he was at once followed by two sisters, Misses Lucy and Leona Gardner, Richard Allyn and Taylor McPherson. Then Mr. Short, who was Mr. McVey's moderator and a teacher in the female college at Jacksonville, stepped to the front and exhorted the people to come forward and confess the Saviour. It was a moment of profound spiritual pathos. At the meeting for immersion the following day a number of others turned to the Lord.
