Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1908-10-01

Agricultural college and was doing
post graduate work there when she
was called in the spring Of 1904 to
take charge Of the science department
in the Dickinson county high school.
After having held that position for q
little over three years, she resigned
to enter the State University, where
she finished the liberal arts course
with the class Of 1908. and was re-
tanned as an assistant in the depart
ment Of chemistry for the coming
year. Only last week she was elected
to fellowship in that dep rtment,
but died without knowledge OF this
tribute to her work and scholarship.
While strenuously engaged with her
work at the University, she did ad-
ditional research work for the Agri-
cultural College and was awarded the
masters degree from that institution.
During the past year Miss Goodwin
had been enjoying unusually coed
health until an attack Of la grippe
during the spring term depleted her
strength. However, when she re-
turned home after the summer school
she seemed to be in almost her usual
health; but the heat during the latter
part Of July and August seemed TOO
great strain for her vitality and
she grew weaker. Yet her condition
was not considered serious and she
had made all plans to return to her
work. At the advice Of her physi-
clan she had postponed leaving for a
few days to see IL she would not gain
strength with thes cooler weather.
With the fall Of temperature last
Tuesday evening she took a slight
cold which on Wednesday developed
into acute pneumonia. 1t was at
once feared she would not have the
strength necessary to contend with
the complications. Consciousness
left her Thursday afternoon, but her
system continued the struggle. Her
loved ones were at her bedside night
and day. hoping against hope for
some sign Of returning strength, but
Friday evening at $3.50 as they
breathlosly watched the angel Of
death touched her eyelids and she
slept.
As character, Miss Goodwin was
q rare spirit. To know her was
q pleasure. To know her intimately |
was the pleasure Of few, but those
will never cease to feel the benedic-
ton Of her life. As a student she
was thorough and painstaking; as
a teacher, exacting, but kindly, just;
in her tastes she was simple and UNI
ostentatious, more than one less
fortunate student Of the county high
school was helped and gladened
without knowing who was his bene-
factor; her daily life was that Of q
faithful and CONSTANT Christian, ever
ready 10 bear her full share Of LIES
burdens and move upward. When in
Manhattan she united with the
Episcopal church and while in Chap
man she was q helpful co-worker In
the Lutheran congregation.
While these virtues make her I'M
timely death 4 public loss, it was In
the quiet Of the home that she loved
most 70 be. and there her wise coun-
eel and seli-sacriacing nature made
her the pride and support Of her par
ents and the idol Of her younger
brothers and sisters. Il was Of such
an elder sister that the pest said.
..Hou many = poor ons's blessings went
VIA thse below the lou green tent
whose cartain never outward EEingn."
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon from Bethel church and she
vas laid 70 rest in the sdjoining
