DR. E. E. GOODMAN IS VICTIM OF APOPLEXY
Well known Physician Stricken Early Yesterday, Succumbs
Twelve Hours Later.

Dr. Edward Elerslie Goodman, of 814 Eighth avenue, one of the best
known and most highly esteemed physicians in the city died at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, following a stroke of
apoplexy sustained early yesterday morning.

Dr. Goodman had been in fairly good health for the past several
months, and had retired Monday night in excellent spirits.  Shortly
after 2 o'clock yesterday morning he was stricken with apoplexy and
despite medical aid, he lingered until death claimed him at the hour

On September 13, 1849, the deceased was born near Mill Creek,
Huntingdon county.  He began the study of medicine under his
preceptor, Dr. S. L. McCarthy, now of this city.  Later Dr. Goodman
entered the Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia, and graduated
from that institution in 1874.  He first practiced his profession at
Allensville, Mifflin county, and later was located at McVeytown for
one year.

In 1877 Dr. Goodman came to Altoona and has since resided here.  He
was regarded as one of the most prominent East Side practitioners in
the city.  He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Mary
Mifflin, of Philadelphia, who died in 1875.  To them one son, Westley
Leroy Goodman, of 1608 Fourth street, was born. Later the physician
wedded Miss Sarah Prideaux, of Shirleysburg, Huntingdon county, who
survives, with one son, Chester P. Goodman. Two brothers, D. T. and J.
D. Goodman, both of this city, and three sisters, Mrs. Calvin Noble,
of this city; Mrs. W. T. Chilcott, of Mankato, Wan., and Mrs. Mifflin
Flemming, of Monango, N. D., also survive.
