The many friends of Capt. +. w: Goodwin
will regret to hear Of his death, which occur
instant. Capt. Goodwyn was born In South
Carolina, 6S years ago, and we believe no man
ever lived who made more warm personal
friends He was member OF the freseyte'
blessed Immortality. He was acivil engineer
by profession, and constantly engaged IN MS
profession up to the beginning Oh Tue war.
during the war he commu nded company y,hn IN
the 9th s. c. Calvary and no officer or soldier
did more gallant service. Alter the war was
over, he being allured by the high price OF
cotton, engaged In its culture lot q year or
two, but finding farming not suitable TO his
taste. he resumed the practice OF his chosen
profession, engineering. After the failure OF
others. he succeeded In locating the line OF
the Florida, Transportation and Navigation
Company, after wading in water mp to his
waist, undergoing hardships and privations
that others refused to bear, success crowned
his effort, but unfortunately he contracted
disease, rheumatism, from which he never re-
covered Later he was civil engineer oi the
city OF Atlanta, and OF one important rail-
road leading from that city westward. Capt.
Goodwyn was true friend, attecLionate hus-
hand and father, and many friends lament
his death. We extend to the bereaved vile
and children our warmest sympathies.
