Harriet s, Goodwin

is not to die" We wish to honor
The name and memory of Harriet 5.
Goodwin. Her life was passed
among us. Her record of pure
life Is open for all to read. A noble
life of high ideals and of faithful
ness in service.
Mrs. Goodwin was born in OK
foru but her parents came 10 Fair
fielG when she was still very young.
She was graduated from high school
in 1850, when only III years of age.
This class was the first to graduate
from a Fairfield high school. There
were 30 who began the course but
only nine girls finished. These girls
were closely united during school
and indeed remain unchanged for
life.
After graduation Hattie Smell
taught for four years in the primary
school now at the North Grammar.
but then located at the corner of
Elm and Main streets. AT the age
Of 20 she married Almon r. Good
win and went out on the Ridge road
TO live. MIR. and Mrs. Goodwin's
family include four children: Mari
on, Florence, Ruth and Roscoe. To
these children their mother gave de-
ever been depicted by author or art
ist Nothing was ever superficially
or slightingly done and her work
was done in no time serving spirit.
None could question her unswerv-
ing devotion to duty or the whole
heartedness Of her service. During
the past few years she has suffered
much physically. Being denied the
privilege of active labor, she has
employed her keen mind In profound
study-especially of the Bible. She
was very anxious for her family and
friends, to understand and receive
the truths so dear to her. Because
of this ill health she had been able
to receive very few of her friends.
She had nevertheless reached many
through her ministry OF writing"
from the beautiful hill top.
The influence of good life new
er ceases. at is a good diffused
and in diffusion ever more intense.
In the truest sense we are remem-
bered by what we have done and
thus her work shall remain to praise
and honor her far above any honor
we can bestow.
