Hi all

Alexander Goad was first married to Jane Henderson. She appears to have
died early in the Civil War; after their migration to Madison Co., Arkansas.
He married shortly after Janes's death and still in Madison Co., to the
WIDOW; Mrs. Jane Wilmoth Wommack. Now, who her Wommack husband was; I don't
know - but she brought to the Goad marriage - four Wommack children.

After the War..............about 1869 - Goad moves his family to near
Yellville; where he died in 1889. Below is a letter from his surviving
widow; Jane Wilmoth. Written to Goad's son; Charles Pinkney Goad - telling
him of his father's death and place of burial. From the files of Wanda June
Goad Worland and typed as written:

Yellvilee, Ark., Marion Co.
Mr. C.P. Goad and family
April the 1, 1889

Dear children, I seat myself to write you a few lines to let you know I am
well at present hoping these few lines will come to hand and find you all in
good health. Pink I have sad news to write to you.. your father died the 4
of February but I am thanlful to tell you he was prepared to die he said to
tell his children to live more religious and live nearer their Goad than
they ever had. He could look back over his past life with regrets and say
if he had his life to go over he would live a diferant life and spend his
days in the service of God. Ther was four (?) preachers come to see him and
sung and prayed with him while he was sick. we buryed him at the Pleasant
Rige Church Graveyard we put him away as nice as we could. I would be so
glad if you all could come to see me. I feel so sad and lonly. I hope you
will come see us some time. Times is very hard at present. I havent got a
bushel of corn nor a dolar in money to git any with corn is a dollar a
bushel flour 5 dollars a hundart coffee 5 (?) a pound to the dollar. I
want you all to write to me as I am just as anxious to hear from you as Eliz
(possibly Charles' daughter Eliza - mpg) with hub in Madison Co. Write soon
yours as ever, Jane Goad

I have no further information on the second wife; Jane Wilmoth - death date
or final burial. Maybe in same Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, near Yellville,
Marion Co., Arkansas that Alexander was buried at? Don Ott seems to have a
great handle on his home county of Marion. Maybe he would know something
about this cemetery?
