She was also interested in animals, and campaigned nationally for the idea that horses should have a two-week annual vacation.〔http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20100524/NEWS0103/5240315/0/COL20/〕
She was married to accountant William W. Goode from 1897 until 1904.〔http://news.cincinnati.com/article/C2/20121219/VAV02/312190005〕 After that she took care of her mother.〔http://news.cincinnati.com/article/C2/20121219/VAV02/312190005〕
She sold her business to an investment group in 1915 due to poor health, and died later that year.〔http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20100524/NEWS0103/5240315/0/COL20/〕〔http://news.cincinnati.com/article/C2/20121219/VAV02/312190005〕 William Howard Taft eulogized her.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=pJzOAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA720&dq=%22cora+dow%22+%22taft&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rRMQU9KFJcr40wG034CACw&ved=0CDwQ6wEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22cora%20dow%22%20%22taft&f=false〕 In her will she gave the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra more than $700,000; she had always loved music and wanted to be a musician.〔http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20100524/NEWS0103/5240315/0/COL20/〕
