CHARGES RELATIVES
POISONED WIFE’S MIND
-----------
Earl Goodwin, of this city, filing a cross-complaint today, to the suit for a divorce that was recently entered by his wife, Mrs. Ethel Goodwin, in the Shelby circuit court, charges relatives of Mrs. Goodwin poisoned her mind against him. Mr. Goodwin asks that the decree of divorce be granted to him and the he be given the custody of Harold Goodwin, their three years old son. Wray & Sullivan are attorneys for Mr. Goodwin.
The couple was married August 7, 1918, and went to housekeeping on a farm in Washington township. The counter complaint states the mother, sister and aunt of Mrs. Goodwin made frequent week-end visits and “poisoned” the plaintiff against her husband. After their visits she was melancholy, irritable and dissatisfied, objecting to living on the farm. Mr. Goodwin states that he sold his stock and moved to Shelbyville, buying a house on Tompkins street. The aunt of the girl then insisted on her coming to Indianapolis “for a good time,” Mr. Goodwin charges. He forbade the visits of her relatives and a separation occurred May 19, 1923, when Mr. Goodwin alleges his wife hired a truck, moved their household goods to her mother’s home, sold it and received $600, giving him half.
A reunion took place September 6, 1923, but in a week the plaintiff again became dissatisfied and left him, Mr. Goodwin states. She filed a complaint for divorce September 29, 1923, and it was then, he says, that he found she had been intimate with another man, and had taken auto rides with the other man and had given him large sums of money.

The large barn, on the William Goodwin farm, one mile north of the Center Church, was discovered on fire last week, by the tenant on the place, Mr. John Williams. There were five heard of horses, corn, hay, harness and farming implements in the barn, all of which were consumed, at a loss of $1,000 and on which Mr. Williams carried insurance of $400 in the Home of New York, Clark & Goodwin, agents. The barn was insured for $300 in the Continental, Mohr & Handy, agents, and the loss on same will be about $300. Mr. John Messick, of the First National Bank, owns the farm, and about two years ago had a large grainery built adjoining the barn, which was consumed also. That the fire was of incendiary origin, there seems to be no question.May 7, 1896

ANOTHER SURPRISE DINNER
----------
William Goodwin, of Brandywine township, has the honor of having been born in Shelby county
on the 31st day of July, 1829, where he has ever since resided. In 1854 he showed his appreciation of true womanhood by uniting
himself in marriage to Miss Sarah Ray, sister of Mr. Joel Ray, of the same township where Mr. Goodwin resides. On
last Thursday a large number of friends of Mr. Goodwin concluded they would manifest their good will for the gentleman by giving him a
surprise dinner. The guests brought with them turkeys and chicken without number, also other delicacies and spread them on the
table, and had a royal time indeed. Billy was delighted beyond expression to see his friends, and of course made the occasion a
pleasant one. Among those present were John Goodwin and family, Martin Goodwin and family, Obediah Nail and
wife, James Nail and wife, Sylvester Kinney and family, Amos Goodrich and family, Joel Ray and wife, Nelson
Cobler and wife, Warren Nail and wife, James S. Gray and family and many others.Thursday, December 25, 1879
