the old home in Indiana, where the parents both died.
In 1876 Philip went to Sutter county, CA, where he found employment on a
ranch. In the fall of 1881 he came by steamer to Portland and thence to the
present site of Reardan, where he purchased a tract of railroad land. He filed
on his present homestead in 1883, since which time he has applied himself to the
cultivation of his land upon which he raises chiefly grain. He came to the state
with little capital, but now is quite well off, and has six hundred and forty
acres, three hundred and fifty acres of which are good grain land, the remainder
pasture and timber. In fraternal
circles Mr .Godwin is identified with Acacia Lodge, AF and AM, of Davenport. Mr.
Godwin was married to Mabel Carpenter, a native of Springfield, Vermont, Feb 22,
1889. Mrs. Godwin is the daughter of C. M. and Elizabeth (Clark) Carpenter, who
came to Oregon in 1881, and to this locality a few years subsequently, and are
now living on Spokane River. Mr Carpenter served all during the Civil War under
General McClellan, was a participant in many hard fought battles, and at the
close of the war was mustered out with an honorable discharge. To Mr. and Mrs. Godwin have been born six children, Mary E.,
Henry Emil, Lucy Ellen, Lulu Viola, Leona May, and James Wyman, the first named
of whom is now dead. Mr. Godwin has ever been a hard working and honorable man.
He has seen his share of the misfortunes and reverses of this life, but by dint
of hard toil and perseverance he has placed himself in a position to enjoy the
fruits of his labor and end his busy career in comfort and ease.” (History of
Big Bend, 1904; page 372).
