Death Of Mr.. Mills d. Godw I'm.

Information was received here yester-
dav of the death in Washington, D. c..
of Mr.. Mills Brewer Goodwin, formerly
of the Richmond press. Mr.. Goodwin
was ffty-nine years of age, and
was born in Portsmouth, where his
mother, father, and several other rela-
tiyes fell victims to yellow-fever, which
decimased that community about thirty
years ago. lie learned the trade Of a
compositor, and worked in several of
the printing Offices Of this city. and here
married the sister of DR.. George b.
Steel, the dentist. A good portion OF
his life he spent as a reporter, having
served with ability in that capacity on
the Penny Post, the Dispatch, and the
Times. Some twelve or fifteen years
ago or more he remoyedto Washington,
d. c., and there, for a good while, was
on the Star asrepOrter. His health so
failing that he could not longer move
about with the required quickness, he
abandoned reporting and returned TO
the case as compoSitor. and was thus
employed on the Star until oyertaken
by the disease which terminated his
life. His wife died many years ago,
and he leaves but one child, Mrs. Fray
ser. whose husband is the proprietor Of
the Portland Flats in Washington. Mr..
and Mrs. Frayser arrived in the city
with the body last night, and the funeral
will take place at / O'Clock this morn
ing from No. 724 Main street, and he
will be buried in Shockoe cemetery by
the side of his wife and child. His
trouble was paralysis of the brain.
His first stroke was about two years
ago, and as a last attempt at relief an
operation was performed upon him by
very skilful surgeons, but he was past
human help. His death took place at
the Garfield Hospital.
Mr.. Goodwin was a man Of quiet and
gentle manrers; his mind was richly
stored with information, and he was an
afiectionate friend and worthy soul. In
this city he enjoyed the friendship Of
large number of excellent people, all
of whom will regret his death and
honor his memory.
