OBITUARY.
John O. Goodrich.
John O. Goodrich, a highly respected citizen of the Eastern District, passed painlessly into the great beyond Thursday morning about 6 o'clock. The deceased had suffered intense pain at intervals for the past fifteen years. He had been engaged in the grocery, hay and grain business for over forty years. In 1857 his father opened a store at the corner of Stagg street and Union avenue, and for the period of forty-two years the name of E. B. Goodrich & Son stood for honesty, integrity and sobriety. In politics he was a staunch Republican. Four children and a wife mourn his demise. The interment will be in Riverhead, L. I., to-day.
