The Milford Cabinet, Feb/5/2005)
Dana B. Goodwin
First Eagle Scout in Hollis, retired poultryman
Dana B. Goodwin of Hollis, N.H., died Jan. 30, 2005, after a recent fall and brief illness.
He was born on Feb. 12, 1913, in Lynn, Mass., the son of the late Otis Dana and Mary (Blood) Goodwin, and lived in Lynn, Swampscott and Saugus, Mass., as a boy.
Mr. Goodwin moved to Hollis in 1926 and lived in the same home for the remaining 79 years of his life. He graduated from Hollis High School as the 1930 class valedictorian. In 1932, he became the first Boy Scout in Hollis to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
He was a graduate of the University of New Hampshire class of 1934. At UNH he was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, and he played alto horn in the college marching band.
Immediately after graduation from UNH, he established Sunny Crest Farm, later renamed as Goodwin's Poultry Farm and Hatchery, which he operated until his retirement in 1977. He developed a new breed of New Hampshire red chickens in which male day-old chicks had distinctive coloring and could be easily distinguished from female chicks. Using the logo "Goodwin's Are Good Ones" he sold hatching eggs and chicks throughout much of the eastern U.S., and Central America. He was a director of the New Hampshire Poultry Growers Association and a director of the New Hampshire Egg Producers Cooperative.
In the Hollis community he was a member of the Odd Fellows and served as treasurer and a trustee of the trust funds for the town of Hollis. He was a long time member of the Hollis Congregational Church and served as a church trustee from 1942 to 1946. He managed Silver Lake Park for several summer seasons. He played second base in the Hollis softball league, and he bowled for about 20 years in the bowling league sponsored by the Hollis Athletic Association. He played alto horn or baritone horn with the Hollis Town Band for about 25 years. All three of his children also played with the band.
Following his retirement, Mr. Goodwin became an avid gardener tending his houseplants, grapevines, vegetable garden, and the many shrubs and flower beds around his home. He persisted with his gardening even after losing the use of one band to a stroke in 2000. He was a life-long fan of UNH sports, the Red Sox and the Patriots.
He was predeceased by his wife of 46 years, Barbara C. (Walker) Goodwin, who died in 1990, and a sister, Marion Lane, who died in 1978.
Members of his family include two sons and daughters-in-law, Henry U. and Victoria Goodwin of Milford (NH) and Dr. Charles D. and Barbara J. Goodwin of West Hartford, Conn.; a daughter, the Rev. Mildred E. "Kimi" Goodwill of Washington, D.C. Also, five grandchildren, Jennifer Post and her husband, Brian, of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Deborah Goodwin, Katy Goodwin and Andrew Goodwin, all of West Hartford, Conn.; and a great-granddaughter, Madison Elizabeth Post of Grand rapids, Mich.
There are no calling hours. A memorial service will be held Saturday, Feb. 12, at 2 p.m., in the Hollis Congregational Church, U.C.C., Monument Square, in Hollis. The Rev. Dr. John A. Terry, pastor, will officiate. A reception at the church will follow the service.
Donations may be made to the Granite State Work Camp, c/o the Congregational Church, U.C.C., of Hollis, Monument Square, Hollis, NH 03049.
The Farwell Funeral Service, Nashua, is in charge of arrangements.
