  • Notes 
    • On December 27, 1944, LaDonne married William Goff in rural Xenia. LaDonne was a member of Pleasant Mound (Powers) General Baptist Church and served for many years as pianist and church secretary. She also served as cook at Union Grove Youth Camp in Johnsonville.

      LaDonne enjoyed cooking and baking pies early each morning at Goff’s Restaurant in Xenia where she was employed and was known around Xenia for her popular homemade yeast rolls.

      She and William travelled to many churches throughout Clay, Wayne, and Marion counties, playing and singing at revivals, weddings, and funerals.
