Narrative

Goldie's first marriage was to Alfred Forstrom, from whom she was divorced sometime after 1930; by 1940, she had remarried to John Casper Afton, a widower whose first wife (Bertha) had died in 1932. John, Bertha, and Goldie are all buried in Idlewild Cemetery in Kent City, Kent Cty, Michigan.

Goldie does not appear to have had any children from either marriage.
