Samuel Goodin was born in Perry county, O., April 2d, 1841. He was married in 1859 to Martha Riley, and to this union were born seven children. Mrs. Martha Goodin died in 1884 and in 1888 Mr. Goodin was married to Harriet Montrose, who with the four living children keenly mourn the loss of husband and father. The sons and the daughters who survive their father are David Goodin of Clay Center, Alvin M., of Indianapolis, Ind., Samuel Jr., of Leonardville and Mrs. Bert Kimbrough of Clay Center.

Two brothers and two sisters survive him; two sisters and one brother reside in Ohio and a brother, Moses Goodin, lives at McPherson, Kans. Mr. Goodin bears the honor of being numbered with the little remnant of the Grand Army that fought the battles of the Civil war. After serving as home guard from the beginning of the war, he enlisted May 2d, '64 in Co. F, 160th Ohio regiment. At the close of the war, he was mustered out at Janesville on September 7th, 1866. Two years later, Mr. Goodin moved with his family to Doniphan county, Kansas, where they resided one year, when they moved to Clay county, taking a homestead six miles from Clay Center. Because of failing health, the farm was sold only a few months ago, and the family had just moved into the city, and resided on Lincoln Ave., in a new cottage that Mr. Goodin had just erected, in which to spend the remainder of his days. However he only lived to spend a few days in his new home when he responded to the call of death.

Some time during the winter of '85 and '86 Mr. Goodin was converted and united with the First Baptist church of this city, of which organization he was a member at the time of his death. Although all who knew him, think of, his going as untimely, yet he had passed man's allotted three score years and ten.

Mr. Goodin was well and favorably known as one of Clay Center's old residents. His going is a loss to the community, as well as a crushing blow to his wife and family. He was a Christian gentleman, faithful to his country, his family, and his home.
