Oddly, a map shows 344 E. 58th Street as being between 1st Ave. & 2nd Ave. Maybe this is the nearest church (below). With only a school address, I suppose that the church's is the same.

Dear George, You could try using this site to locate an obituary in a local paper: http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html The site is a bit slow, but it indexes some great papers. I entered “Patrick Goodman” 1911 as search terms: You might be interested in seeing the 11th item, #1363609 from the NY Evening Telegram: 16 Aug 1911: right column.
