Nunda Herald 19 May 1904
Nunda Herald - 19 May 1904 - "Mrs. Sabra C. Goodwin Passes Away at Home of Her 
Daughter in Canon City, Colorado     Died, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
Hattie J. Freye, in Canon City, Colo., Sunday, May 15, 1904, Mrs. John 
Goodwin, aged 72 years 10 months and 13 days.
     The news of Mrs. Goodwin's death, while not unexpected, was received in 
Nunda, where for so many years she had made her home, with the most profound 
sorrow. She had endeared herself to the hearts of all in the community. Here 
was a life well spent and crowned with good works and kind deeds. She was a 
devoted Christian wife and mother. To her children she leaves the heritage of 
an honest name and an unsallied character. To the church she leaves the wealth 
of a Christian life and the example of a Christian death.
     About twelve Months ago she went from Numda to Colorado to live with her 
daughter, also hoping that her health would be benefitted. But for some time 
she had been growing worse, and while every care was given her, it was 
realized that her going could not be long delayed. The immediate cause of her 
death was apoplexy.
     Sabra C. Chase was born July 2, 1831, in Auburn, N.Y. being the daughter 
of Wilcox and Julia Chase. She was united in marriage with John Goodwin Feb. 
10, 1852. In 1853 Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin came west, and located near Crystal 
Lake, where they acquired a competency in farming and the pickle industry. The 
husband died Jan. 22, 1892, and since that time Mrs. Goodwin has made her home 
with her children of whom there are four: Victor C. of Elgin, W.A. and Fred C. 
of Crystal Lake, and Mrs. Hattie J. Freye of Canon City, Colo. All were 
present at the funeral. There are also left seven grandchildren.
     Mrs. Goodwin united with the "Baptist church at about the age of twenty 
years, and has lived a consistent and devout Christian life. Over her silent 
there hovers the sweet recollections of a beautiful past. Tender and gentle 
her heart ever beat responsive to the calls of humanity.
     The body was brought from Canon City to Nunda arriving Tuesday evening, 
and the funeral was held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. F.C. Goodwin at 1 
o'clock Wednesday afternoon and from the Methodist Episcopal church at 1:30, 
Rev. W.B. Doble delivering a strong and touching eulogy. Mesdames C.E. 
Dickinson and H.L. Patten and W.W. Dike and C.F. Dike sang. The floral gifts 
were numerous and beautiful. The funeral was in charge of F.E. Cox and the 
pall bearers were: C.E. Irwin, Ben Throop, Andrew Henderson, E.J. Coquilette, 
Sumner Pingry and J.W. Hartman. Interment was in Union cemetery in the family 
burying ground."
