Late Monday afternoon, October 2, occurred the death of Charles, the five-week old son of Charles and Palma Goodwin.  The baby passed away at the Imogene Bassett Hospital, Cooperstown [Otsego Co., NY], where he had been a patient since Saturday.  The exact cause of his death was not fully ascertained. Everything that medical science could do for the little lad was done, but to no avail.  In the beginning of his illness, acute meningitis set in, and complications followed.  To the bereaved parents, who were privileged to have the little child with them so brief a time, our sincere sympathy is extended.  Services were held from the Goodwin home Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the Rev. T. Hubbard, of new Berlin, officiating.  Burial was in the family plot at Oxford.  Mrs. Theodore Hubbard and Miss Lulu Crispell rendered one selection.
