Lavinia S. Goodwin

[2] In King's Chapel Burying Ground, Boston, is the grave of an ancestor marked by a stone from a foreign quarry, dating back to the Colonial period and bearing the coat of arms of the English Tyler family.

From sensitiveness on the point, her earliest writings were either destroyed or sedulously concealed, until finally, some pieces of verse that accidentally fell under a friendly eye were forwarded to a city newspaper and published without her knowledge.

[4] After having conducted departments for women and children, and become favorably known as a writer of stories, at the beginning of 1869, she was made associate editor of The Watchman (Boston),[5] in especial charge of its family page.

[3] The House We Live In was an 1893 children's serial for Our Little Men and Women focused on "our heads, hands and the rest of us" while not like studying physiology.

[7] Goodwin's volumes included, Little Folks' Own (collection of stories and verse, which had a large sale); The Little Helper (biography); The mysterious Miner;[8] Quicksands; The Light of Home; and Wings, Legs and Voices.
