Newspaper Obituary in Archer Family Records
"GOODWIN-Entered into rest on Thursday, August 26th, 1890, in Salem, Roanoke county, Va., Sallie Carter Crump Goodwin, wife of Rev. R. A. Goodwin, and daughter of the late Dr. William and Mrs. Alice G. Crump of Albemarle, in the twenty-first year of her age.
So has passed away from the friends who loved to the God who gave her one of those sweet spirits whom we can so hardly spare save for the brighter ministry of heaven. From earliest childhood she realized her duties and her privileges as a “child of God,” and the characteristics of her whole life were her devotion to duty and her simple-hearted trust in the Saviour. Led by the dealings of God’s providence, in her girlhood’s days she learned the responsibilities of womanhood, and became the stay and solace of a widowed mother. Called at an early age to the duties of wife and mother, she performed them well, to the glory of God. In her own home she developed to a remarkable degree those lovely Christian graces which so plainly mark the life hid with Christ in God. The heart of her husband did safely trust in her, and he found her a ready and efficient helper in the work of turning souls into righteousness.
Her end was a fitting one to such a life. Her work and her sufferings finished, at once she slept in Jesus; and as the daylight of heavenly rest broke upon the happy soul a smile of joy left its impress on the face of the dead. The Father had gathered home His own, yet left us the precious example of one who walked humbly with God and glorified Him in every relation of life.
“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”
E.L.G. [Rev Edward Lewis Goodwin was brother in law of Sallie Carter Crump Goodwin]

Newspaper IN MEMORIUM in the Archer Family Records
"In Memoriam
MRS. R. A. GOODWIN
At a meeting of the members of St. John’s church, held August 20th, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
We have met this evening to render a tribute of sympathy to our beloved pastor, occasioned by the death of his cherished wife, who passed away from our midst on Sunday last to where beyond these voices there is perfect peace.
The following is a just tribute to the memory of one whose demise has filled so many hearts with sorrow.
The beauty and purity and eternity of the virtues which ever animated the bosom of the new entombed one it is the melancholy pleasure to record, which brings with it no sting, but “death swallowed up in victory.”
Kind, gentle and affable, none could approach our beloved sister without being impressed by the amiability and fullness of heart that her excessive modesty could not conceal. In the domestic circle her virtues shone with a most cheerful radiance, and that circle, alas, suffers the darkest eclipse from death.
Now the altar round which clustered the sympathies and hopes and loves of a family which were wont to commune is draped in cypress, but at the foot of that altar and by the side of that cypress is the “nether end of a bow” stretching far heavenward and spanning the mournful scene with the glittering promise of a reunion above. May that promise be fulfilled, and the loved ones below regard the beloved as “not dead, but gone before.” We cannot measure our sympathy in words, but we can try to imitate her beautiful Christian ideal, which was love and charity to all, and practiced in her daily life.
Resolved, That we assure the bereaved family of our tender sympathy and Christian love in this time of deep distress.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be conveyed to the family, and a copy be published in the daily papers.
Mrs. S. REED, Chairman,
Mrs. S. CRUMP,
