In 1811 he returned to Hartford and opened a jewelry store on the west side of Main Street, on the ground now occupied by the building of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company, for several years in partnership with his brother under the firm name of H. & A. Goodwin. Here he remained until 1852, when he engaged in the sale of music. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and, having a liking for military life, was one of the organizers of the "Putnam Phalanx." The following extract from the Company orders, issued at the time of his death, will show the esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens. Headquarters Putnam Phalanx Association, Hartford, May 15, 1864 - General Orders With feelings of sorrowful regret, the Major Commandant announces to the members of the Putnam Phalanx Association the decease of Major Horace Goodwin, the first Commandant of the Phalanx. Major Goodwin died at his residence in this city, Saturday, May 14, 1864, after a severe and painful illness of three weeks, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. Having been one of the projectors of the Association, and until his death a prominent member, he always evinced an earnest interest in its prosperity and welfare, being so intimately identified with the phalanx from having been elected four successive years as the Major Commandant, that the honor and reputation of the Association appear to be inseparable from this own character and interests. You will never forget the dignity of his personal appearance as he marched at the head of the battalion on the occasion of your pilgrimage to the grave of General Israel Putnam; the sacred mound at Charlestown; and to the tomb of the Father of his Country, the immortal Washington. A man of undeviating integrity, of spotless moral character, of kindly disposition but of inflexible will, he seldom erred in judgment. As a friend he was faithful; as a companion, genial, witty, and sociable, possessing wonderful powers of memory; as a citizen, upright and honorable; as an officer, either in a civil or military capacity, fixed and firm in the right. His qualifications for public positions were repeatedly recognized by his fellow citizens, whose interests he succored and protected by filling responsible civic positions. As an appropriate tribute of respect to his memory, the armory and the colors will be draped in mourning, and the member will wear the usual badge for thirty days. Maj.
