Biography

Douglas Goddard was Mahala's 3rd marriage. He died in Memphis, Shelby Co, TN from Influenza. He and Mahala died within days of each other. Death certificate shows them buried at Ellendale, Shelby Co, TN but I have yet to find a grave site. They are possibly (prob) buried in an unmarked grave. Douglas and Mahala had 1 child together, Moses Edward Goddard. Mahala had 2 living children from her first marriage. Census records shows she had 5 children with 3 living.
