Rev. Reuben Goodwin, Formerly of
Groton, Died at Hardwick, Mass.
News was received here Wednesday
of the death of Rev. Reuben Goodwin
at his home at Hardwick. Mass, where
he was pastor of a Congregational
church. Particulars are not known at
present, but it is assumed that his de-
mise was from the effects of scarlet
fever, as his relatives were advised
about two weeks ago that he was i'll of
the malady. Mr.. Goodwin was born
in Groton 40 years ago last Septem
Der, and was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Goodwin. He studied for the
ministry, and began to preach about
ten years ago, his first charge being
at Atkinson, N. H., going from there
to Goodyear, Conn, and around two
years ago to Hardwick, Mass, where
his death occurred Tuesday. Mr.. Good
win came here nearly every year when
on his vacation to visit his relatives,
and so kept in touch with his native
town. Two or three years ago dur
ing his stay here he supplied both the
Baptist and Methodist pulpits and was
considered an able and eloquent
preacher. He leaves his wife and two
children, a son and daughter; his aged
father, who is very low at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Davis, in st,
Johnsbury four brothers, and two sis
ters. and other more distant regatives.
Many expressions of sadness and re-
gret are heard for the useful and
promising life SO suddenly terminated.
