Additional commentary.
1. The Goodwin House Is No Longer Present
The Goodwin house was dismantled and the components removed from the property in 2016. I can find no mention of the fate of the cemetery, but given that the property is almost entirely covered by a new building and attendant parking deck, it is either covered by construction or was moved.
News coverage after 2016 appears to be nonexistent. Note To Editor only visible by Contributor and editor
