GOODWIN When the word was given out Sunday that Mrs. W. S. Goodwin, of Arcola, was dead, the sombre mantle was spread over Roseland, Amite and Arcola, as the deceased was widely known and loved in this community. She was reached nearly her 75th year, and while she was not confined to her bed her health was so precarious that all hopes of the family had abandoned for some time. She evidently realized her condition and had prepared and made known the details of her funeral, and quietly passed away at the home of her son, Jos. K. Whittington, at 4 o'clock, p. m. Mrs. Goodwin was formerly Mrs. Whittington and four children were the result of this union, as follows: Jos. K. Whittington, Arcola; Harry K. Whittington, Opelousas, La.: Mrs. D. Eldridge Rivers, of New Orleans. The funeral obsequies were conducted at the Arcola-Union church. Monday at 3 o'clock p. m., by the Rev. W. H. Perkins, of Amite, in an impressive manner, paying a glowing tribute to the memory of the deceased. Beautiful hymns were rendered by a quartette. The pall-bearers were: I. H. Wands, W. D. Hendry, P. Boyle, A. C. Germanp, E. D. Riechert and G. W. Watson. A large cortege of friends followed the body to the burial grounds. - Roseland Record - Herald. Additional Comments: NOTE: Mary A.
