Century Memorial

Frederick Goodridge came of a well-known and respected family in this city, and was a successful merchant in his earlier life. During latter years he enjoyed the leisure congenial to his quiet tastes, and made possible by his comfortable circumstances, and in the Club and the society of his friends found a pleasure which continued to the last.
