He also operated cider and sorghum mills. These were run by horsepower. He gained quite a reputation for making jells and molasses.«br»Sometime after moving to Michigan he was chosen as deacon by the small group of Mennonite Brethern (sic) in Christ members in Noble Township who held services in nearby schoolhouses. Later services were held once a month in co-operation wht the Mennonites and the Church of the Brethren in the Pleasant Hill Mennonite Church.«br»Mr. Good served in this capacity until his death at his home on June 15, 1900, at the age of 67.«br»Around 1903 Mrs. Good moved to Burr Oak, Mich., where she and her daughters, Elizabeth (Betsey or Bess) and Mary lived until her death on May 16, 1916, at the age of 81.
