     Transcribed from Case: "when 27 years of age, he enlisted under Com. Perry in his campaign on Lake Erie, where he proved himself not only an efficient but a bold, intrepid soldier during that memorable naval action of Sept. 10, 1813. During that engagement he was severely wounded by a flying splinter, but refused to leave his position as gunner and go below. We have it from undoubted authority that one of the most effectual blows given the enemy on that day was by Goodrich; not having shot at hand quite as fast as he wanted, and in his haste was reckless enough to use a bar of iron in place of shot, the effect of which was to carry away the main-mast of the enemy's flag-ship, which materially served to gain the victory, which was reported by Com. Perry in these concise words: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." For bravery exhibited in this engagement, the State of Pennsylvania awarded Mr. Goodrich a silver medal, which is now in the possession of his grandson, Frank W. Goodrich, Marshalltown, Iowa. Mr. Goodrich settled at Madison, Ohio; a farmer."⁴
