"Haynesville News", February 2, 1933
VERY ILL
"Friends of Mr. and Mrs J T Goodwin will be grieved to learn that both of 
these fine people are very ill with pneumonia at their home about five miles 
south of Haynesville." (John Thomas died the same day this was in the paper).

"Haynesville News", February, 1933 (after February 2, 1933)
J T Goodwin DIED THURSDAY AT AGE OF 85
"Another pioneer citizen of Claiborne Parish passed to his great reward when 
J T Goodwin died at his home five miles south of Haynesville. Had Mr. Goodwin 
lived until April he would have been 86 years of age.
The funeral services were held at the Shady Grove Cemetery Friday afternoon, 
conducted by the Rev. Geo. Chambers of Arkansas, and assisted by the Rev. C A 
Calhoun, pastor of the Haynesville Methodist Protestant Church.
The following relatives survive: wife of the deceased, and the children Ben, 
Jim, George, Robert and Mrs. Sally Lambright, all living in this area.
Mr. Goodwin was born in Mississippi, but came to Claiborne when a lad of 7 
or 8 years. He has lived almost his entire life here, and was counted as one of 
the best citizens. He remained very active until near the end when he was 
stricken with pneumonia. He has reared a splendid family of children, who have 
the respect of the entire community. He was a Christian gentleman, always 
living a clean life, and believed in the upbuilding of the parish. In the 
passing of Mr. Goodwin, Haynesville and the surrounding community feels the 
loss very heavily for he was a friend to everyone.

Additional Comments:
It is believed that John Thomas died of cancer. Although others in the 
family say pneumonia. While most cancer patients don't actually die of the 
cancer, but of complications of the Disease, both are very possible.
