Townsend, Montanna - Funeral services for Avon Goodale whose body was recovered Saturday

afternoon from the sloughs of the Missouri River, were held at the Methodist Church. Mr.

Goodale was one of the Broadwater County pioneer citizens and held in the highest esteem by

everyone in the community. He was known to be honest and truly one of the sturdy "old-timers" of

this section. He was born in the State of Maine in 1859 and lived there until he was 14 years of

age when, in 1873, he came to Montana. He first located in Smith River Valley and engaged in

stock raising with his brother, John (Henry), later coming to Townsend where he was in the

livery business. On March 16, 1904, he married Katherine Broderick who preceded him in death

six years ago. He, with his wife, had charge of the county poor farm for seven years covering the

period from 1918 to 1925, after which he engaged in business for a couple years in Townsend,

being proprietor of the "Rainbow" soft drink and confection. He is survived by two brothers and

two sisters and a daughter (Irena) by a former marriage. ~ Helena Independent (MT), 1 Oct 1931
