Lena,
Here is the obituary of Ellen Platt Goldsberry from
the Galveston Leader. -Debby
December 5, 1906 p4, c1
Ellen Platt, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Platt, was born
May 27th 1820; after a lingering illness, departed
this life Nov. 29th, 1906, aged 86 years, 6 months and
2 days. She was united in marriage to Isaac Goldsberry
August 12th, 1838, who preceded her to the grave
thirteen years ago. To this union nine children were
born, five of which are living, two sons and three
daughters. She was a member of the Christian church
and had a pure moral character. She was a kind
neighbor, a loving mother and an affectionate
companion. She is survived by one brother, one sister,
five children and a host of friends, who mourn her
departure. Grandmother Goldsberry, as she was usually
called, ha lived in this vicinity for many years and
was well known. She lived to see her children married
and settled down. It was a brave but unequal contest
for life. But when the final summons came her spirit
passed from earth as peacefully as the slumber of a
babe.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we love is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given;
And thought the body slumbers here,
The Soul is safe in heaven.

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions on the
death record lookup that I posted a query about a
while back! My problem is that I live too far away
from Logansport to go there easily myself and I was
wondering if there was anyone who lived in the area
who would be willing to look up Sarah PLATT and
Ellen
GOLDSBERRY's death records for me. I have their
death
dates and am interested now in finding their cause
of
death and if their parents names are listed on the
death records, as well as whatever else might be on
the record.
Or if someone could tell me how much it would cost
and
how I would go about ordering them from the library
or
the health department.
Thank you all so much for your help!
Lena
