OBITUARY
MR A. J. M. GOODWIN.
A popular figure in commercial and golfing circles in the city, Mr A. J. M. Goodwin, manager, of tho Palmerston North branch 'of the Bank of New South Wales, died suddenly yesterday morning, the news of his passing coming as a painful surprise to his many friends. Mr Goodwin was at his office on Saturday morning, as usual, but suffered an attack in the afternoon and was taken to a private hospital, where he passed away. Mr Goodwin had served the bank for 46 years, and was due to retire next year. He spent the major part of his service in Australia and came to New Zealand about 11 years ago. After serving for a short period in the inspector's office in Wellington he was transferred to Palmerston North. In his ten years' residence here he made an appreciable contribution to the business interests of the city. He was for nearly all his life keenly interested in sport; in his younger days he was an enthusiastic cyclist and tennis player, he played pennant bowls in New South Wales, and for no fewer than 41 years he played golf, this being his principal interest in sport. He was a member of the Manawatu Golf Club. Mr Goodwin is survived by his widow, two | daughters, Mesdames C. Coleman (Auckland) and Paul (Wellington), and a son, Mr Russell Goodwin, who is in camp.
