Goodchild and their grandson, David David son, of Los Angeles, arrived in this city Sunday for a visit at the home of Mrs. P. A. Horn, mother of Mrs. Goodchild and her family. They were accompa nied by Webb Goodchild, of Sal em, Ohio, a brother of Mr. Good child. While enroute here the Good child party stopped at Denver where Mr. Goodchild carried out an annual custom in tendering to a group of the friends in the former home a picnic in recog nization of their thoughtfulness' a few years ago. Mr. Goodchild, an auto parts manufacturer at Los Angeles, was very badly injured in 1934 in an auto wreck near Wakefield, Nebraska, the report reaching the old friends at Denver that he had been killed. The friends learning of the supposed death sent a large floral horseshoe that Mr. Goodchild had set up on the dresser of his hospital room: He then vowed that each year he would tender a picnic to the kind friends that had supposedly remembered him in death. This year on the way eas't he stopped in Denver torgive the picnic at tended by 111 of the old friends.
