OBITUARIES
HARRY GOODWIN - A MODERN PIONEER
York County Coast Star October 5. 1964
Harry Goodwin of Eliot died on Friday of last week; and on Monday, October 2,
1964, he was buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery after services at the Buckminster
Chapel, conducted by the Rev. Kwan Y. Lee. Just a month before, on September
2nd, Mr. Goodwin had attended funeral services here for his wife, Stella; and
now, he, too, had succumbed to the cancer few knew he had. He was born in
Dover in 1890 and moved to Eliot with his family about two years later when
they moved to the home the Braden family own now. He grew up in Eliot and
attended school here, then studied to be a mechanic. He joined the Army in
World War I and was overseas from April 1918 to August of 1919 taking part in
three major battles - those of the Argonne, the Pise-Aisne, and Saint Mihiel -
and attained the rank of Corporal.
After his return, Goodwin worked at York. From 1925 to 1949 he ran the garage
on Goodwin Road, now owned by his son-in-law and daughter, Dave and Eleanor
Pearsall. He and his wife Stella lived in the home located across the road
and just a little way up toward Kittery from his boyhood home. First he
sold Chevrolets, then became the first tractor dealer in the area,
selling "Best Tractors".
He sold the first area snowplow to York, and to the town of Eliot its
first snowplow. Many in town remember that first plow - a huge wooden
thing with a great wide wing on the right. His responsibility did
not end with the sale. He kept the plows running through zero
weather and the heaviest storms. [Sometimes] it meant snowshoeing
from Eliot to Portsmouth to get parts as they came in on the train.
He would snowshoe through heavy unplowed snow and - repairs made and
service restored - back to Eliot he would travel on his snowshoes
over Beech Ridge Road. If it was Eliot's plow that broke down, he
would put up a canvas to gain some shelter from the storm and work
until the great plow could start off again.
Harry Goodwin loved to travel and made his first trips to Florida in
the days when Model T's were the best way to cover rough roads. He
took pictures everywhere he went, and collected pictures and cards of
other places as well as many, many of Eliot. He shared these often
with others, showing them at home and at the East Eliot Methodist
Church, to which he belonged and supported in many ways over the
years. He had hoped some day to write the story of his trips using
the records of his wife to help him with the statistics but the
warmth and color would have come from his own prodigious memory.
Many had hoped he would find time to write of the history of the town
using some of his many pictures as illustrations.
The STAR, Thursday, September 3, 1964;
Estella Maude Goodwin, wife of Harry N. Goodwin of Goodwin Rd.,
Eliot, died early Wednesday, morning at the Portsmouth Hospital
following an illness of several months. Born in Malden, Mass. on January 8, 1890,
daughter of John and Emily Brown Kramer, she moved to Kittery with
her family while still very young. She attended the Kittery schools
and worked in York before her marriage in November 1920.
All her married life was spent in the family home on Goodwin Road or
at their home in Belle Isle on the outskirts of Orlando, Florida
where she spent many happy hours growing flowers and fruit. She
tried her hand at everything - cotton, pineapple, sugar cane as well
as her twenty-two rose bushes and other everyday flowers. This last
Easter there were three hundred and thirty-four blooms on her Easter
Lilies and these she shared with others as she did all the abundance
of her garden. She fed birds by the thousands, and her home was a
Mecca for many friends from Maine and other parts of New England.
She was a member of the East Eliot Methodist Church and of the
Woman's Society and her contributions to the work of the church over
the years has been countless. She worked, too, in the Conway
Methodist Church which she attended for many years while in Florida.
Even this past winter she spent hours preparing articles for sale at
the Church's fairs. Tall and strong, her quiet dignity endeared her
to all. She is survived by her husband, her daughter Eleanor M.
Pearsall, three grandchildren, Bonnie, Nelson and Terry Pearsall, and
two sisters, Mrs. Fred Leavitt of Eliot and Mrs. Helen Gardner of
Rockland, Mass. Visiting hours at the J. Verne Funeral Home,
Thursday and Friday at the caller's convenience. The Funeral will be
on Saturday at 1:30 at the Buckminster Chapel, Portsmouth.
