GODDARD - Ira Goddard, well known and like in this borough and throughout the county shot and killed himself at his home in West Burlington, Saturday night. He had been suffering with consumption, for several years and lately became despondent of ever getting better. During the night he ended his life with a bullet from a 44 calibre revolver. He was the sole survivor, directly descended of the Goddards at West Burlington, and the only heir to considerable property, as the family was quite well-to-do. His mother, Mary Woodruff, died when he was but four months old. His father, George Goddard, died last October, and two of his aunts died several years ago. On Tuesday of last week, his aunt Miss Julia Goddard, died at her home on the Goddard homestead in West Burlington. There remain now only five cousins of the late Ira Goddard, none bearing the name of Goddard. Two cousins live in Elmira and three in West Burlington. His aunt, Miss Julia Goddard, however, had not taken an especial liking to him and in her will did not even mention his name. Saturday night he went to his room, which was in the first floor of the homestead, a large house. He had remarked during the evening that he did not believe he would sleep much that night, as he had been restless for several nights. His stepmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Goddard, nee Sadler, came to his room a few minutes later and found the door locked. She called to him not to go to bed without unlocking it, and he answered that he would unlock it. About 10 o’clock she heard a slight noise, but did not investigate. A girl who works in the house coming home at about 1 o’clock, noticed that his lamp was still burning, but she thought nothing of it.   In the morning when his step-mother came down stairs she looked into his room and saw him lying on the floor in a pool of blood. His body was cold and lifeless. The County Coroner was immediately summoned from Ulster, as was Dr. J. W. Phillips of Troy, a second cousin of the deceased. A verdict of suicide was immediately given without an inquest.   Ira Goddard was a young man of about 28 years, born and reared in West Burlington. The funeral was held Monday from his late home.
