"Death Sudden, C. C. Goodwin, Well-Known Drug Man.
Had Been Ailing, However, More Than a Year
Lived in Lexington and Took Interest in Town.
LEXINGTON, Nov. 27- Charles Clinton Goodwin, aged 67, died at his home on Merriam st. this morning. He had been ill for about a year, but the end was unexpected. He was prominent in the wholesale drug business.
He was born in Lowell, Feb 1, 1839, and with his parents removed to Charlestown soon afterward. At 10 years of age he came to Lexington, where he lived ever since, entering the employ of his father at the age of 15. In October, 1863, he married Miss Alice D. Phelps of Lexington.
At the death of his father in 1869 he became head of the firm of George C. Goodwin & Co., one of the largest wholesale druggists in New England. This company a few years ago consolidated with two others and formed the Eastern drug company, of which Mr. Goodwin was president up to the time of his death. He was also vice president of the National druggists' association, a member of the A. & H. A., company, the De Molay commandery, Knights Templars, Menotomy Royal Arch chapter of Arlington and Simon W. Robinson lodge of Lexington. Mr. Goodwin was closely identified with the Hancock Congregational church of this town and has been a leading member of the choir since 1868.
Through his love for music and his ability in that line, he has been connected with the Boylston club of Boston for a number of years and of the Beethoven orchestra of Lexington.
He leaves a wife and three children, George C. Goodwin, Mrs. Edward P. Merriam and Miss Alice P. Goodwin of Lexington. He gave much to the needy in a quiet way and was interested in all public affairs of this town. The funeral will take place tomorrow at the Hancock Congregational church."
