MELKSHAM
Frederick Goodwin and his wife and six children were on board. They had been living in Melksham for some years. Goodwin was a machine hand at the foundry, and about 40 years of age. The eldest of the children, a girl, was 16 or 17 years of age, and the youngest was a baby of a few months. The Goodwins have relatives in the States, some of whom had recently been on a visit to Melksham, and returned not long ago. Presumably they induced Goodwin to leave the old country; he was going to a situation near the Falls, already found for him, and his relatives had provided a house and furniture for the family. The supplementary list of survivors issued yesterday contained no Goodwins, so that the whole family would seem to have perished.
