"They 'wars' sprouted through the Verons schools together and Finis and Liv were' college mates et Drury. Then their ways . parted. Awaiting ing something better to turn up Finta taught school. Bob being a good atory ; teller and able to do sight of hand tricks with a quarter went on the road as a salesman. and Liv began the study of law in a Springfield office.
"Time pawed on and so did Fints and Bob. Finis was doing well In the lumber business In Oklahoma when stroke of paralysis forced hla retire- ment and resulted in his death a year or co later at Verona. Up to his death several years ago at Peirce City. Bob continued to be a commercial drum .. mer."
Thus Judge R. L. Goode was the last of the trio. . It was not generally known he was called Liv by I:fs clone friends. A Bpringfield merchant told the other day about taking # short trip with Judge Goode to Lawrence county to visit Finis White, who had been fatally stricken. White could not remember the Springfield merchant,
(although knowing hin well when normal. The sick man, however. knew Judge Goode.
