Indiana Weekly Messenger,  May 4, 1881
Death of an Old Virginian.
Strongstown, April 16, 1881.
Jacob Goodlin, one of the oldest citizens of Indiana county, died at his 
residence in Nolo, April 9, 1881. Deceased was born in Martinsburg, Barkley 
county, Virginia, in the year 1792, making him the ripe age of 89 years. It 
will perhaps interest his friends to know that General Washington took Jacob 
by the hand when he was seven years old, in Martinsburg, Va. Deceased was a 
tanner by trade and was master of his profession. He was a very industrious 
and honest man; was married three times and has two sons living, one of whom 
is a very able Lutheran minister. Jacob was a kind father and a good husband 
and was much attached to his relatives. Peace to his ashes. W.H.T.

Additional Comments:
Sons' names were John W. (the minister) and Ezra Benjamin of Cookport, a Civil 
War veteran of the Army Signal Corps. Jacob lived in Mifflin and Allegheny 
counties before settling in Indiana. One of his wives, Elizabeth Walter of 
Mifflin County, was the mother of said sons.
