Noted Pioneer Dead.

Greeley-On Monday night death

war, a soldier of many OF the Indian
wars, filibuster in Central America
under BILLY" Walker. fur trader,
freighter across the plains. miner in
the early days of California and one OF
the first to be identified with the stock
industry Of northern Colorado and Wy
oming.
Goodwin was seyenty-seyen years
old and until month before his death
was active mentally and physically
and had a mind stored with fund of
information of the West of early days.
Probably no man living this side OF the
Mississippi had more varied life than
Goodwin, who was for five years mas
ter OF government transport when
supplies were sent from Fort Leaven-
worth to the forts of Colorado, Wyom-
ing and Utah in the days when Indians
were most dangerous.
Goodwin had headquarters in Pueblo
when it was merely a fur trading post
and trekked all over this locality for
the ST. Louis Fur Company when there
was not cabin in the Cache La Pou-
Dire valley. He made and lost several
fortunes before he was forty and in
the early 70s, having noted the value
of northern Colorado for stock raising,
bought land near Fort Collins and
there conducted big ranch until he
went to Wyoming in the early sos.
Continuing in the cattle business, he
again accumulated a fortune and two
years ago came to Greeley.
He was born in ST. Louis. was a
