Union Recorder-May 28, 1901 Page 2
DEATH OF MRS. HENRY GOODMAN
On Saturday morning last, at three o'clock, God whispered to the spirit of Mrs. 
Henry GOODMAN, and it quickly and peacefully winged its way to its eternal 
place.
For years, the body of this most excellent; lady had been racked with disease 
and tortured with pain. Our people, all of whom knew her and loved her, have 
deeply sympathized with her in her suffering, and with her fond and devoted 
husband. The disease which resulted fatally seized her just a week ago, and it 
ravages defied the skill and care of physician, friend and nurse.
MRS. GOODMAN's birth-place was in this city; she was born February 22nd, 1840' 
the daughter of JOSIAH DOLES and of MARTHA DOLES, formerly Martha PIERCE, the 
Sister of Dr. LOVICK PIERCE, the great Methodist Minister Preacher. 
She was the youngest Sister of General GEORGE DOLES.
In 1860 she was Married to C. D. SMITH, who lost his life in April 1865, as a 
Confederate Soldier, in the Battles around Petersburg. The result of that union 
was one child, a son, C.D. SMITH, who preceeded her to the grave more tha a 
year ago.
On February 15, 1871, she married Mr. Henry GOODMAN, and their thirty years of 
married life have been a continuous illustration of loyal, patient devotion, 
and constant loving affection. One child, dying in infancy, was the fruit of 
this marriage.
She was buried on Sunday morning, at half past nine, the funeral services being 
held at the home, she had so long presided over, and were conducted by Rev. J. 
H. MASHBURN, of the Methodist Church, of which the deceased and her husband 
were both faithful members.
Of near relatives she leaves one sister, MRS. MARY WRIGHT and three neices, and 
three young grand-children, Children of her son, C.D. SMITH. Her breaved 
husband had the universal sympathy of our people. his patient, unconquerable 
devotion to her has been known among us all. Amidst the cares of a busy 
business left, his gentleness in her affliction, his constant thoughfulness and 
care, his constant watchfulness have made a picture of surpassing beauty in 
this community. The sweet, faithful, loving spirit which was the life of his  
life, is gone forever from the earth, and the heart of this people, all of whom 
love and honor him and knew and loved her, is wounded and grieved at the sad 
dispensation of Providence. It is well, for the end of the Valley of the shadow 
of death, is a sunbeam of happiness forever.
