General Notes: Husband - Prof. Frank Wilbur Goodwin

---

He attended public school in Venango County, Pennsylvania, later entering the Edinboro State Normal School, from which he was graduated in 1889. He was also graduated from Grove City College, in 1895, and took post-graduate courses at Harvard and Oxford, England, and always kept up his studies unceasingly. Professor Goodwin taught public school in several districts and then for eight years was a member of the faculty of the State Normal School located at Edinboro, Pennsylvania. Locating at Kittanning, he became superintendent of the Kittanning public schools in 1907. Being very progressive in his ideas, and a man of broad views, he materially raised the standard of his schools, and brought them to a high state of excellence. Not only was he well equipped for his professional duties by careful training and wide experience, but he loved his work and took pride in its quality.
He belonged to Blue Lodge No. 416, F. & A. M., Orient Chapter, No. 247, R. A. M., Rose Croix Commandery, No. 38, and Pittsburgh Consistory. Not only was an educator, but he was also an attorney, having studied law and been admitted to the bar, although never engaged in active practice. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was superintendent of the Sunday school. [HAC 1914, 601]
