Also see . . . The Mary Goodnow Story. She had become of marrying age, however something happened during her childhood that would impact her for the remainder of her life. It is not known how or when, but Mary had been afflicted with a lameness of the leg which did not allow her to walk with much dexterity or run with any speed. As we will see, this was her undoing.
