...death of Charles Haven Goodwin son of Professor Goodwin, in the early part of last July was a sad blow to all who knew him. Though his extremely retiring disposition prevented his forming a large circle of acquaintances, yet his few friends seemed to hold for him in no ordinary degree a deep respect and love.
