its formation with energy, gathering a great deal of information, and making valuable diagrams and models, illustrating the manner in which the work could be carried out successfully. In philanthropic movements he was ready with sympathizing heart and hand to afford relief and assistance. Several years since, owing to an internal complaint, Mr. Goode retired from business, leaving it to be conducted by his sons, Messrs. Thomas and Edward Goode. Even then his active mind could not rest, for he was invariably engaged either in directing farming operations or making improvements in his residence and grounds near Goolwa. He was one of the trustees of the Wesleyan Church, and a liberal supporter of its funds. He died at Goolwa, October 26, 1882, aged 66. Mr. Goode was the brother of Messrs. M. & C. H. Goode, merchants, of Adelaide.
