- Mrs. Elizabeth [L.], wife of Ezra GOODRICH,
was born at Salisbury, Conn., Jan.
- 18, 1832, and died at her home in Milton,
April 23, 1892.
- She was daughter of Dea. Charles ENSIGN,
of Kirkwood, near Birmingham, N.Y.,
- the youngest of nine children, six
of whom survive her. At the age of fifteen she united with
the Congregational church, of which she was a faithful member
until after her marriage and removal to this town, where she
subsequently united with the S.D.B. church. Still later she
became a constituent member of the Milton Junction S.D.B. church,
of which she was a faithful and beloved member at the time of
her death.
- By her pleasant, unassuming ways she
endeared herself in the hearts of all who knew
- her. She was a devoted wife and the
affectionate mother of four children.
- Such christian patience and fortitude
as she exhibited in her last very painful illness is
- seldom witnessed. The church and
community will miss her quiet, kindly presence, her sympathetic
words and deeds of love.
- Her pastor was assisted in the funeral
services by Rev. N. Wardner, her former pastor,
- and Revs. E. M. Dunn and O. U. Whitford.
- The bereaved family have the full sympathy
of a large circle of friends. The funeral was
- very largely attended. Relatives
were present at the funeral from Colorado, Chicago, Rockford,
Cartwright, and Janesville. [Thursday edition, p. 5]
