GOODMAN.

  Benjamin F. Goodman died at his home in Mill Creek on Thursday 
November 7th from illness due principally to advanced age.  Deceased 
was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Goodman, and was born in Henderson 
township almost 76 years ago.  He was a veteran of the Civil war, 
having served in Company K, 22nd Pennsylvania cavalry under two 
enlistments.  Mr. Goodman was well known in Mill Creek and surrounding 
community, and was a highly respected citizen, and one that will be 
greatly missed.  He has been a consistent member of the Lutheran church 
of that place for the past forty years.  He was a member of the George 
Simpson Post, G.A.R. No. 44 of Huntingdon.  He is survived by his wife 
and the following children: Mrs. Minnie, wife of William Souders; Mrs. 
Lydia Ream; Chester Goodman, of Juniata; Charles M. Goodman, a merchant 
in Mill Creek, and Rolla Goodman, at home.  Deceased is the last of a 
family of six sons.  Funeral services were conducted on Sunday 
afternoon by his pastor, Rev. E. N. Fry, with interment in the Mill 
Creek cemetery.
