"Aunt Juggie", whose real name was Judith Terrill Goodwin, was born May 22, 1845, on the samehomeplace where she spent her entire life and where she died. Her mother and father came to Missouri in a covered wagon, settling in Shelby county near the Marion county line. At the deat of her mother in 1868, "Aunt Juggie" took charge of the household. With the exception of one trip to the state of Virginia in 1904, she had remained on the homeplace, never leaving for a longer tip than to go to Shelbina or some other nearby town. She joined the Ebenezer Baptist Church at the age of 16, and later, in 1894, when the Emden Baptist Church was organized, she became a charter member. Until her health became bad about a year ago, she attended church regularly. She had never cast a ballot at the polls, stating that she believed a woman's place was at home and not in politics. She was the last of her immediate family bearing the name of Goodwin. Her last brother, William A. "Uncle Buck" Goodwin, died in June, 1932. One sister, Mrs. Mary E. Babb, survives, as do also six nephews, Palmer Davis, Rolla J. Davis, Bob Davis, Richard Babb, Claude Babb and Carson Babb; and one niece Mrs. Ada T. Hagerty, all of whom live near Emden. Funeral rites were held Saturday afternoon at the Goodwin home, conducted by the Rev. R. T. Colburn of Paris, former pastor of the Emden Baptist Church, who has preached the funerals of all of the members of the Goodwin family who are deceased. Burial was in the family cemetery on the Goodwin homestead.
