Emma E. Putnam Goodrich

Sidney Enterprise, January 22, 1925

It was a great shock to the many friends of the family to learn of the death of Mrs. Fred E. Goodrich, which occurred shortly before 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon January 20.  The end came very suddenly at the millinery store of Mrs. Eunice Mason, on Main street where Mrs. Goodrich had been spending a very pleasant afternoon as the guest of her mother, Mrs. Shafer, and her sister, Mrs. Dene Sayre.  About two years ago Mrs. Goodrich suffered a shock of paralysis.  She had partially recovered from this and was able to be about to some extent.  She had been taken to the store by Mr. Goodrich when he went to work after dinner and expected to remain until he returned in the evening. She had been sitting in a chair near the window and frequently waved her hand in greeting to passing friends. She had been exceptionally jolly all the afternoon.  Suddenly a change came over her which was as quickly noticed by Mrs. Shafer, who went to her and took her in her arms, resting her head on her shoulder.  A messenger was dispatched for Dr. L. Day whose office was a short distance away, and who quickly responded.  But life had fled and Mrs. Goodrich had passed away when the doctor arrived with scarcely a breath and without a struggle the spirit had fled.  Her husband was summoned at once from his work in the former Hetheld factory.  Her body was placed in the Carr & Hare ambulance and carried to the home on Pleasant street which she had left but a short time before filled with happiness at the prospect of a happy afternoon with friends.  Mrs. Goodrich was a woman very greatly esteemed by all who knew her. She was always cheerful with a pleasant word of greeting for all.  She bore her affliction of the past two years with great fortitude, looking on the brightness to all with whom she came in contact. She was devoted to her home and husband and to him the sudden blow is the hardest to bear. To her he had been devotion itself. endeavoring in every way to make her burden lighter.  Mrs. Goodrich was an earnest Christian woman, a member of the Baptist church and when health permitted active in church affairs. She had a hobby for raising flowers and they seemed to grow, always more beautiful at her magic touch and it was a great delight to her to present to her friends beautiful bouquets of her choicest blossoms.  Mrs. Goodrich was a native of Solsville, born in 1868, and was therefore 56 years of age. She came to Sidney [Delaware Co., NY] with her husband about 15 years ago.  In 1899 she was united in marriage to Mr. Goodrich and has always been a happy wife, a loving companion to him, a good neighbor to every sense of the word. To Mr. Goodrich in his sad affliction the sympathy of the entire community is extended. the funeral will be held Friday morning at 11 o'clock at the Baptist church, Rev. Merle Isenberg, her pastor officiating.
