OBITUARY NOTICES.

The memorable 400th meeting of the Society was held 
under his presidency. 
But above and beyond all, Mr. Goode was a man—wise, 
kind, strong, forbearing—a man who could bravely lead and 
follow loyally; the strength, beauty, and sweetness of whose 
disposition made other men his own peculiarly; with such 
vast learning, keen insight into men and affairs, grasp on 
everything that related to the advancement of the highest 
interests of the country, and willingness to give his time, his 
mind, his life, to the advancement of those interests, as to 
entitle him to be classed among the great men of the days 
in which he lived; if I may speak personally, a man whose 
place no other friend can supply. It is three years and more 
since he was laid to rest, and not a day has passed that I have 
not missed him, have not grieved for him, have not felt my 
life was poorer without him.

EDWARD GOODFELLOW. 
1828-1899. 
[Read before the Society, December 9, 1899.] 
Mr. Edward Goodfellow, the subject of this sketch, was my 
friend and comrade for many years. I was familiar with his 
aspirations, and know only too well the failure of his hopes 
in the undeserved misfortune that overtook him in after life, 
in his separation from the work he had served so faithfully 
and well for more than a generation; and yet I can do but 
scant j ustice to the man, his gentle nature, high sense of honor, 
and the many traits that compel us to call a man our friend, 
for diffidence was also a pronounced characteristic, and 
yielded only when assailed in the briefer hours of a ripened 
friendship. 
Mr. Goodfellow was born in Philadelphia, February 23, 
1828, and died in Washington, May 7,1899. He received his 
57-Bull. Phil. Soe., Wash., Vol. 13.
