Mr. Godsey

Mr Godsey I believe died before the 1950's if my memory is working properly. There was a late season episode about him having a heart attack and believe it was said that he did not live all that many years afterward. I believe that he was just a little older than John Sr so it was weird he was a bachelor until the mid-1930's. Assuming he was born around 1895 he would have been 55 by 1950. Not deathly old but given the times it would not be a surprise that he did not live past age 55. I would guess that Ike was a Southern Democrat in that he had conservative views but carried a family grudge towards Republicans over Reconstruction.
