Memorial Meeting. 1 1 



labors in connection with the Centennial Exposition brought on another 

 attack, and this condition was renewed at times through my acquaintance 

 with him. When we see what he has done, we must remember, with now 

 useless regret, under what conditions all this was accomplished. 



I have scarcely alluded to his family life, for of his home we are not to 

 speak here, further than to say that he was eminently a domestic man, 

 finding the highest joys that life brought him with his family and children. 

 Of those who hear me to-night most knew him personally, and will bear 

 me witness, from his daily life, that he was a man one felt to be pure in 

 heart as he was clean of speech, always sociable, always considerate of 

 his associates, a most suggestive and helpful man; an eminently unselfish 

 man — may I not now say that he was what we then did not recognize, in 

 his simplicity, o. great man? 



It is a proof [says one who knew him] of the unconsciousness and unobstrusive- 

 ness which chracterized Doctor Goode in all his associations and efforts that, until 

 his death came, few, if any, even of his intimate friends, realized the degree to 

 which 'he had become necessary to them. All acknoweledged his ability, relied on 

 his sincerity, knew how loyally he served every cause he undertook. The news of 

 his death showed them for the first time what an element of strength he was in the 

 work and ambitions of each of them. With a sudden shock they saw that their 

 futiu-es would have less of opportunity, less of enthusiasm and meaning, now that 

 he was gone. 



He has gone ; and on the road where we are all going, there has not 

 preceded us a man who lived more for others, a truer man, a more loyal 

 friend.
