labors in connection with the Centennial Exposition l)rou.y;ht 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 scarcel}^ alluded to his family life, for of his home we are not to 

 speak here, further than to say that he was eminentl}' a domestic man, 

 finding the highest joj's that life brought him with his family and children. 

 Of those who hear me to-night most knew him personally, and will l^ear 

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

 heart as he was clean of speech, alwa^'S sociable, alwaj's considerate of 

 his associates, a most suggestive and helpful man; an eminentl}' iniselfish 

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

 his simplicit}', ■^ great man? 



It is a proof [saj-s one who knew him] of the nnconscionsness and imobstrnsive- 

 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 

 futures would have less of o])portunit3% 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.
