GOODWIN-IRVINE WEDDING
A Very Quiet, But Pretty One, Mid Wood Flowers of the Spring Time
The marriage of Mr. J. Kieth Goodwin and Miss Lillian Tucker Irvine, on account of recent bereavements in the two families, was very quietly but prettily celebrated at the country home of the bride near Fairville, Tuesday, April 28, at 9:30 a. m. The guests included only the members of the two immediate families of the contracting parties. The fine old country Irvine home was a veritable paradise in wood flowers and spring blossoms. The parlor, which was the ceremony room, was exquisite in white and lavender, hawthorne blossoms and fragrant lilacs prevailing. The front and back hall was also in the white and lavender, and the dining room, in crab apple blossoms.
At the hour, to the strains of Lohengrin, played by Miss Katherine Irvine, piano, and Mr. A. T. Vawter, violin, Rev. J. E. Abbot, the officiating minister, took his place in front of a beautiful improvised floral chancel in the lavender and white. Little Elizabeth Vawter came next bearing the ring, hidden in an Easter lily, and the little girl in her dainty gown of sheer white was a pretty representation of a cherub of light presenting the celestial blossoms. The bride and groom came in unattended and the ceremony, beautiful in words and earnestness, was made more impressive by the strains of "Love's Melody," played softly by Miss Irvine and Mr. Vawter.
the bride wore her going away gown, an exquisite apricot shade of panama, with hat and gloves en suite, and carried a large bouquet of Easter lilies. The rich blending of the apricot shades in the superb toilet were especially suited to the fair bride and her friends thought she had never been so beautiful as on her bridal morn.
As the bride and groom kneeled at the altar upon a handsome deer skin rug, made from a deer killed by Luther Tucker on his recent trip to Old Mexico, with the magnificent background of wood flowers, the scene was indeed one of rustic and rural beauty and expressed the dainty tastes of the bride and her sisters. After congratulations, refreshments of bisque cream, angel's and devil's food cake, coffee and after-dinner mints were carefully served, Miss Kate Irvine presiding at the coffee urn in the dining room.
The bridal party drove to Marshall with Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin, in time for them to take the Midday Special going east. They did not inform their friends as to their honeymoon trip, but will write later. When they return they will ba at home to friends at Shackelford for the present, where the groom is connected with his father, J. G. Goodwin in business. He is a young gentleman with fine business ability and many admirable characteristics and is from one of Lafayette's fine old families, which has always seemed to belong to Saline as much, if not more than, our sister county, on account of the close identity with our interests. He and his lovely bride will receive the earnest congratulations of a host of friends and relatives, all of whom feel that the marriage is under auspices highly favorable.
The bride, who has been reared in the county, and is also from one of our oldest and best families, is not only beautiful, but womanly and good, and will no doubt prove a joy and inspiration to the husband of her choice, as she has brought sunshine and happiness to the home of her happy girlhood. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Irvine, which has been so blessed with fair daughters, will miss the brightness and cheer of their presence as they are taken, one by one, to preside over homes of their own, but the old Irvine homestead will always be dear to the departing ones, and they will have many happy gatherings under its hallowed roof in days to come.

MAYOR J. K. GOODWIN
SHORT ILLNESS IS FATAL TO CITY OFFICIAL
Unexpected Death A Shock To All Here
Mayor J. Keith Goodwin, businessman, civic worker, churchman and devoted family man, died at 7 o'clock last evening at Fitzgibbon Hospital following a 2-day illness. His death was unexpected, and his illness had not been considered dangerous until the last few hours. The public of Marshall in general was unaware that his condition was anything more than a temporary indisposition.
Mr. Goodwin was first affected while filling his regular appointment as teacher of the men's Sunday School class at the First Presbyterian Church but he finished his lecture, saying nothing about feeling badly. THe Sunday School superintendent had to leave early and Mr. Goodwin took charge of the closing exercises.
Plans for Services Wait
Arrangements for the funeral and the burial services await word from a daughter, Miss Marijane Goodwin, who is in Puerto Rico, and the arrival tomorrow morning of a son, John Goodwin, who is now enroute from Texas, where he has a position as an insurance executive.
Mayor Goodwin was born March 12, 1883, in Marshall in the house so long occupied by the late Dr. D. F. Manning at 754 South Odell Avenue. He was the son of James Gilmore Goodwin and Marie Webb Goodwin, both of whom are dead.
Prominent Families United
April 28, 1908, Mr. Goodwin and Miss Lillie Irvine were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Irvine, near Fairville. This marriage combined two well known and long established families of Saline County. There have been only the two children, Marijane and John, the daughter the oldest.
As a young man Mr. Goodwin's interest was in the grain trade and milling, for that was the business of his father. He was associated with his parent for many years and during that time managed grain elevators and mills at a number of towns along the Alton railroad, his father sending him to rejuvenate new properties which he had purchased. Later Mr. Goodwin and Walker H. Fletcher formed the Goodwin & Fletcher Grain Company of Marshall. Afterward, Mr. Godwin relinquished his interest in this company and took over management and operation of the Goodwin Hotel, a property owned by his father. For seven years Mr. Goodwin had the hotel.
In 1932 he established an insurance agency which he has conducted successfully since that time.
Fine City Administration
Mayor Goodwin was elected to the city office in April. His administration has been praised and admired by the citizens, for he has had the courage of his convictions and his policies have been based solely on what he believed was for the general welfare. With determination he has held down expenses insofar as possible in an effort to get the municipality out of debt. Somewhat like Prime Minster Churchill, who, when he took the war helm for Great Britain, told hie people he could promise them only "blood, sweat and tears" so Mayor Goodwin when he assumed the duties of his office frankly informed the citizens of Marshall that the city was deep in debt, and that they could expect only economy in operations and maybe higher taxes. His thorough honesty appealed to the public and his vigorous efforts to economize were acclaimed with admiration. When he asked the taxpayers to vote a mill for the park so as to take a financial burden off the general fund the levy was voted with virtually no opposition. Common comment on the street today was that Mr. Goodwin was making a good mayor and had written an enviable record of achievement in city affairs.
Active in Church Affairs
Mr. Goodwin was identified with the First Presbyterian Church in a most active manner. He had been a member of the board of deacons for years and then had been advanced to the board of elders, which looks to the spiritual affairs of the church. For years he taught Sunday School classes and was the song leader for the Sunday School. He was a wheel horse for anything concerning the church that needed to be done and an ever-ready volunteer for any service. Just this week he was scheduled to go to Higginsville as a delegate from the Marshall church to the Presbyterian presbytery.
In addition to the widow and the two children he is survived by a brother, Webb Goodwin of Alma.
