Walterboro, Nov 22 [1916] - Mrs Mary Goodwin, generally known throughout the upper part of the county as "Aunt Mary," died at her home in the Little Swamp community near the Bamberg line in Colleton, Friday night. Mrs Goodwin was in her 74th year, and had been since early youth a devoted and consecrated member of the Methodist church. She was known throughout the community as a Christian without guile, and was respected by all who knew her for her piety and religious devotion.

A large concourse of friends and relatives gathered at the Goodwin burying grounds on Sunday morning to pay their last tribute to this excellent woman.

Mrs Goodwin was the widow of the late John Goodwin, who died in 1875, leaving her a widow with the several children, all of whom she has reared into strong and useful people. The Rev Willie Smoak Goodwin, a minister of the Upper South Carolina conference; Miss Hattie Smoak Goodwin, a teacher of great ability, and John Coker Goodwin, member of the house of representatives from this county, are the children who survive her. She has one living sister, Mrs Julia Ann Crosby of Ruffin.
