WELLS RIVER.
Death of Miss Goodwin.

While the residents of Wells River had
If g;ven up hope other life being spared,
a. ,Tas a shock to the community, when
1t .;th hated breath, the word was passed
aMronnd at three o'clock on the afternoon
ofthe 18th instant, that Miss Muriel Ella
Goodwin, had passed to the better land
Gvervthing that medical skill had at its
lnon,,nand even the dexterous knife of the
eorgeon. all the care of the family and
1--we of friends, could not avail, for the
;os;dous disease had been working
s'+ealthiv and ruthlessly for months
'nheknown to herself or her friends.
Miss Miss Goodwin's death has saddened the
whole neighborhood for she was beloved
NV all who knewher. The funeral servi-
ccs were held Thursday afternoon, the
OH at 100. There was simple prayer
service at the house for the family and at
o'clock the public obsequies were held
Of the Wells River church of which Miss
Goodwin was a member, conducted by
thp pastor, Rev. J. A. Belanger, the
eulogist in the course of his remarks
abiding to three qualities which were
;mnortant marks in the life of the de-
narted girl: Her devotion to home.
She found the fullest satisfaction, not in
a sound gaiety, but at the freside; she
was full of fun, but she would allow
nothing to diminish her affection for
home life.
Her devotion to her friends was
another factor in her life. She had been
in the home of the speaker a great deal
in the last FIVE years, and had endeared
herself through the loyalty to a large
circle of friendship, and this was all the
more apparent through the splendid
virtue of charity, which was one of the
characteristics of her life.
And there was also the devotion to a
high ideal. Limitation of life never
swerved her from her purpose to make
something of herself.
After graduating from the High school
in 1905, she determined to 60 higher
She studied one year at Wellesley, and in
the fall of 1906 she matriculated at YER
mont University for the whole classical
course. Her ideals, whether in education
or in social life, were the highest. We
may well erect broken column at her
last resting place, for a promising career
has been broken. A large concourse of
people attended the services A quartet
sang Asleep in Jesus" My Jesus as
Thou Wilt" and Saved by Grace" the
latter a favorite with Muriel. The
bearers were DR.. H. H. Lee, Samuel
Hutchins, Nelson Bailey and W. H. Buck.
The honorary pail bearers were the
members of the class of '05, Wells River
High school. The profusion of flowers
bore witness to the love that she COM
manded.
