GOODRICH
- GREENMAN, was born at Milton, Wis., Dec. 28th, 1859,
and died at his home in Milton Junction, July 4th, 1927.
- When about eleven years of age he was baptized and united

he became one of the constituent members, and has been a member
of that church over fifty years. January 17, 1891, under the
pastorate of George W. HILLS, with Frank WELLS
he was called to be deacon of the Milton Junction church. He
was also a trustee of that church, and for some time the secretary
of the trustees. He not only filled these offices faithfully
but the interest of the church was always close to his heart.
- On Nov. 12, 1891, he was united in marriage to Jennie ROGERS,
daughter of James
- C. ROGERS of Milton Junction. To this union were born
four children: a daughter who died in infancy; Mrs. Beulah BORMAN

passed away Dec. 2nd, 1925. He is also survived by his wife and
two grandchildren, W. Rogers and Paul Richard GREENMAN,
also three sisters Mrs. Miles RICE of Milton, Mrs. H.
A. VAN CAMPEN of Cannon Falls, Minn., and Mrs.
J. C. LANE of Milwaukee. All these have the expressed
sympathy of very many friends.
