- At her home in Milton, Wis., April
23, 1892, Elizabeth [L.], wife of Ezra
- GOODRICH,
aged 60 years, 3 months, 5 days.
- At about two years of age her father's
family removed to Kirkwood, N.Y., and at the
- age of fifteen, she united with the
Congregational Church of that place. For two years she was a
student at Alfred Academy, where she met Mr. GOODRICH
who subsequently became her husband. They at once removed to
Milton, Wis., where they were living at the time of her death.
Soon after coming to Milton she united with the Milton Seventh-day
Baptist Church, and when the Milton Junction Church was organized
she became a constituent member, remaining consistent and faithful
until called home. She was a devoted wife, and the loving mother
of four children. Such Christian fortitude and patience as she
exhibited during her last very painful illness is seldom witnessed.
But she rests from her labors, and her works do follow her. G.
