Mrs. Goodwin is Dead.
This announcement is not a surprise
to those who knew the situation, yet it
will cause a wave of sadness to pass
down among those who knew the good
lady. She was stricken last Sunday with
apoplexy and every hour since that
time had seemingly been expected to
be her last. She had every attention,
experienced physicians and lovingcare,
but the time had come, her Lord had
called her and her spirit is now at rest.
Mrs. Goodwin was the mother of Mr.
John Durst. Her home is in Augusta,
but she had been here several months
visiting her son. Her health has been
very good considering her age, she be
ing about sixty-five, and the stroke
that ended her life came unexpected
ly She was a native of South Carolina
and was first married to John Durst,
Sr., from which union there are now
living in different sections of the coun
try three brothers and two sisters
After the death of her first husband
she was married to J. T, Goodwin and
from this union there are two daughters
and one son. Her last husband died
only three years ago and her first hus
band about 33 years ago. She was a
Christian woman, a loving mother and
loyal friend.
Her remains were carried to Augusta
Wednesday morning to be laid away in
the family lot, and they were followed
to their last resting place by several
members of her family. The Progress
extends condolence to those bereaved
and our advice is that all live a life
such as this noble woman lived, so we
can meet in the unknown future, where
sorrow aud pain are things unknown.
Card of Thanks.
I desire, on behalf of myself and
family, and also on behalf of other
members of ihe family, to return
heartfelt thanks to those good friends
in the neighborhood, who were so kind
and attentive during the sickness and
demise of our father, Wm. W. Jones.
The good people gave us every assist
ance, were with us in every time of
need and we know that God will bless
them for this devotion and friendship.
All of us have trials but few of us have
such noble friends as was with us con
stantly in our late bereavement. With
thanks again, we beg to subscribe our
selves and all our relatives as your
friends until life shall end.
Mr. and Mrs. M. I. Chitty and others.
