Gospel preacher.

B.C. Goodwin was born in Alabama, August 19, 1849. The first Gospel sermon he heard was in 1869. The third sermon he heard he accepted the Truth. In 1877 he began preaching and from that time has been actively engaged in the work. More than 3,000 have been baptized by him and many congregations established. While most of his work has been where he received a meager support he rejoices that he has been instrumental in the hands of God in leading many to Christ. It is his delight to continue telling the story of Christ and his love. --- Gospel Preacher listed in Gospel Preachers Who Blazed the Trail by C.R. Nichol, 1911.

Obituary for his first wife: Alice Goodwin
Alice, daughter of David L. Harris, and wife of Elder B. C. Goodwin, departed this life Aug. 5, 1893. She was 33 years, 5 months, and 19 days of age. In 1880 she identified herself with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Kelso, Tenn. While in that church she was universally respected for her Christian virtues and godly deportment. In 1890 she learned the way of the Lord more perfectly, and obeyed the gospel under the preaching of her late husband, and from that time up to her death she lived a devoted, consecrated Christian life. It has been truly said of her, that she offered her own precious life a sacrifice for others. She visited the sick, and nourished and comforted them in their afflictions. She cared for and comforted the motherless, and was always willing and ready to administer to the wants of those in destitute circumstance. She was stricken with that dreadful disease, consumption, and after patiently bearing up under her afflictions for five months, she fell its victim. She leaves an infant babe, a devoted husband, loving parents, brothers, sisters, and many friends to mourn her departure. To the bereaved we would say: “Weep not as those who have no hope.” She died as she had lived, in the full triumph of the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Truly a good woman has been called home. All should profit by her example. Let us try and imitate her life, and be prepared to meet her in that sweet Eden of rest. H. A. Bryant. --- Gospel Advocate, November 9, 1893, page 716.

He was married to Louisa M Weatherford Goodwin. His father was Beale Columbus Goodwin, Sr. and his mother was Emily Hoover Goodwin.
