Ionia Standard, 20 May 1887

Death cuts short an expected pleasure.  Mr. and Mrs. L. Goodrich were visiting
with the family of F. Sloan, making preparations for a visit to the family of
their son, N.S. Goodrich, in Dakota, and were just on the verge of leaving for
the prairie country when Mr. Goodrich suffered a paralytic stroke, from the
effects of which he died on Monday last.  The funeral services took place at the
Baptist church on Tuesday afternoon, from which place his remains were taken to
the cemetery.  The following is a brief sketch of his long life:  Deceased was
born in Rutland county, Vermont, December 29th, 1805, and when about 21 years of
age moved with his father to Ohio.  December 23d, 1827 he was married to Juliet
Standish, sister of the late Hon. J.D. Standish, of Detroit.  She died September
17, 1852, leaving besides her husband, two sons and three daughters, one son,
N.S. Goodrich, of Dakota, and two daughters, Mrs. Henry Taylor, of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and Mrs. Wm. Butman, of Illinois, still being alive.  Mr. Goodrich
afterward married Mrs. Henrietta Andrews, of Plymouth, England, who also
survives him.  He had resided here about thirty-five years, twenty-five years of
that period being engaged in the grocery business, in the pursuit of which he
made many friends by his uprightness as a man of business, and his daily walk as
a man among men.  He was for many years a consistent member of the Baptist
church, and as kind and indulgent a father as ever lived.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.]
