"The Milton Journal", Milton Wisconsin, Thursday, July 1, 1909, p 1.
In the death of Chas. Goodrich another comrade of the G. A. R. and an early settler of Wisconsin is removed from us. He was the only son of Asa Goodrich, and was born in Weathersfield, Mass., June 3, 1829, and died at the National soldiers Home in Milwaukee, Wis., June 24, 1909, having but recently passed the limit of "four score years." His father was a brother of the Hon. Joseph Goodrich whose connection with the founding and early history of Milton and its institutions is familiar to us all. As is well known, Joseph Goodrich came to Wisconsin in 1839, and Asa came, with his family, five years later, in 1844, when Charles was 15 years of age. In early manhood he was married to Miss Mary Lyon who died, leaving several small children all of whom, save one, have since died. In January 1867 Mr. Goodrich was again married to Mrs. Mary Hamilton Davis, daughter of Horace Hamilton and widow of Joshua Davis, both from families well known in Milton. Of this union there were born three children: Cora, late wife of Geo. E. Jackson, a daughter who died in childhood, and Asa Goodrich now a resident of Milton.
Early in the civil war into which our country was plunged in 1860, Mr. Goodrich enlisted in the 13th Wisconsin Volunteers, for three years or during the war. He was honorably discharged when his regiment was mustered out of service at the close of the war.
For a period of 21 years Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich lived in Independence, Kansas, and for about the same length of time their home has been at Milton. During the last part of his life, Mr. Goodrich has been practically helpless with rheumatism and other troubles due to the hardships and exposures incident to army life. On this account he has had a place in the National Soldiers Home in Milwaukee where he spent a considerable time of the last few years of his life. To this home he was taken but a few days before the end came.
The body was brought, by his son, to the home in Milton where, on Saturday afternoon, June 26th, funeral services were conducted by Dr. Platts, and burial services in the Milton Cemetery, were conducted by the Grand Army Post of Milton and Milton Junction.
Mr. Goodrich was a man of kind heart and generous impulses. While living in Kansas, and in company with their daughter Cora, he was baptized and became a member of the Baptist Church of Independence. From this connection he never removed his membership, but often spoke of it as his church. Weary of the pains of life, from which for many years he was never entirely free, he anticipated the end, which he knew was not far away, with feelings of hope and satisfaction.

Mrs. Mary L. Goodrich, who for more than three score years has resided in the vicinity of or in Milton, passed away suddenly Friday morning, January 27, 1922.
Mary L. Hamilton was a daughter of Horace G. and Catherine Burdick Hamilton. She was born in Alfred, N. Y., June 29, 1836. She had two brothers, one of whom, Arthur D., was killed in action in the Civil War. In his honor the local G. A. R. Post was named. The other brother died in New York city one year ago. There were also two sisters, Mrs. Madee Foster of Independence, Kan., and Mrs. Mattie Coon, who died years ago.
When Mrs. Goodrich was six years old her parents came to Wisconsin and took up government land three miles east of Milton. Her father was a carpenter and built the home in Milton into which they afterwards moved. Mr. Hamilton was one of the builders of the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Milton.
On Sept. 18, 1851, she was married to Joshua Davis. In 1863, she passed through the vales of deep sorrows when her husband and two daughters died.
In January, 1867, she was married to Charles H. Goodrich. To them were born three children, Mrs. Cora Jackson who was deceased December 18, 1900, a daughter who died in childhood, and Asa who with his family were tenderly caring for his mother who had become almost totally blind.
Mrs. Goodrich was an active member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church at Milton, having been baptized into the fellowship of the church in 1851. She loved the Word of God and tried faithfully to live its teachings in her daily life. It was a sore trial to her to realize that approaching blindness would deprive her of many social and religious privileges. But though the light of the sun was denied her, yet this deprivation only revealed more clearly the light that shone from the Sun of righteousness.
Mrs. Goodrich was an active member of the Women's Relief Corps of Milton.
Farewell services were held at her late home on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 29, conducted by her pastor, Henry N. Jordan.Mrs. J. H. Babcock and Mrs. D. N. Inglis accompanied by Miss Dorothy Maxson sang two songs of comfort.
Burial was in the cemetery at Milton.
