The Kov. Holutid Hodge wuh in charge and the Inter meat was In the churchyard. Mr. Goff, Coroner John A. Hurgeunt said, was the victim of one of the mom unusual accidents he had ever Investigated. He was spending the night at the home of Jesse Lee, a neighbor, and after supper had started to his room. There was a step of several inches front the living room to the bedroom.and Mr. Goff, Coroner Sargeant said, slipped and fell, knocking over a lamp, which fell under him. The glues of the lamp shattered, severing an artery on his left hip. Death was duo to loss of blood. Mr. and Mrs. Lee attempted to stop . the flow of* blood from the severod I urteries but were unable to do so. M r. Leo then rode in search of help but . was unable to locate a physician. He returned to his home where he found Mr. Goff had died. He then went to j the home of a neighbor, N. T. Dabbs, who drove into Columbia and notified Sheriff T. Alex Heise, who with Coroner Sargeant and Deputy Sheriff Tom I Scott, investigated. Coroner Sargeant announced that no inquest would be necessary. He pointe.d out that the fact that Mr. Goff's body smothered the flame of the burning lamp had probably averted a more serious tragedy, as four children were asleep in the house at the time of the accident. Mr. Goff was a lifelong resident of the Blaney community and was a member of the Higkw.ay Holiness denomination. His wife died 12 years ago. He is survived by bis mother, Mrs.' Janip Goff, of Columbia; one daughter, Miss Evelyn Goff, of Blaney; five sons, Fuliner Goff, of Winnsboro; ' Wade Goff, of l(ock Hill; Clyde Goff, of Cassatt; De Verne Goff and Carl Goff, of Blaney; two brothers, Dalton Goff, of Blaney, and John* Goff, of Co?( lumbia; three grandchildren and nu-j nierous other relatives.
