CLASS OF 1857

Dr. David Marks Goodwin died in Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 14, 1908. The city press ascribes the cause of his death to grief caused by his indictment for complicity in the Oregon land frauds, of which he strongly protested his innocence. Doctor Good-win was bom in Tunbridge, Vt., Oct. 12, 1883. He studied medicine with Dr. C. B. Chandler of Montpelier, and upon his graduation settled in practice in Cabot, Vt. He was commissioned assistant surgeon of the Third Regiment, Vermont Volunteers, June 20, 1861; promoted to surgeon, April 39, 1863; mustered out, July 27, 1864. His three years' service was with the Army of the Potomac, and he was present at most of the battles in which that army was engaged. In 1866 he removed to Minneapolis, Minn., and continued in practice there for thirty years. While in Minneapolis he was married to a widow, and one child was born to them, who is now living in Minnesota. After living several years in Arizona, where he went for the sake of his health, he finally went to Los Angeles. Three before his death he was married to Miss Catharine A. King, who had nursed him during his last illness, and whom he wished to make the heir of what property he possessed. Doctor Goodwin was a Scottish Rite Mason, and a member of the Loyal Legion and the Southern California Homeopathic Medical Association.
