	5. Lydia Gertrude DURHAM "Liddy" (b. Mar 1882; d. 25 May 1978, TyleCtyTX, age 96; Find-A-Grave 32960959, TX) m1. Ernest GOODE (b. Sep 1882, TX; d. 1914, age 31) on 26 Oct 1913, TyleCtyTX; Find-A-Grave 32960953, TX)    Parents: Josiah Washington Goode "Joe"/Sarah Jane Parsons   m2. William Oscar GOODE (b. 26 Nov 1873, TyleCtyTX; d. 7 Feb 1935, TyleCtyTX; Find-A-Grave 32960962, TX)    Parents: Josiah Washington Goode "Joe"/Sarah Jane Parsons Child to Ernest:   1. Ernest Durham GOODE (b. 3 Nov 1915, TyleCtyTX; d. 2 Mar 1954, Rusk, CherCtyTX, Find-A-Grave 32960952, TX)     Notes: By the 1920 census, Lydia was married to William Goode. William's death certificate is hard to read and opens some interesting questions, but the facts lead to it being the correct person. Lydia is listed as his spouse. His parents are listed as J. W. Goode and Sarah Jane Parsons, so this "William" is verified at Ernest's brother. Regarding discrepancies, first, the middle name is un-readable. It looks like "Scar", but it's probably "Oscar" because the 1900 census lists his middle initial as "O". Second, the cemetery listed is also hard to read. It could be "Hard Shell" or "Mayd Shell", but there is no such cemetery listed for TyleCtyTX. The online list on Find-A-Grave for Pilgrim Rest Cemetery in Woodville, TyleCtyTX lists "William Goode", and the date match, this is probably the same person.
