GOODALE, C. - Bear Creek Twp? - pg 835. Farmer and stock-raiser, section 4, P.O. Brooklyn. Was born in Martinsburgh, Lewis county, New York, on the 9th day of August, 1831, and was there educated and raised to manhood. Followed the pursuit of agriculture since his early youth, and has always given it his entire attention. In 1856 he moved to Whiteside county, Illinois, where he remained until 1865. In the winter of 1858 he visited Davenport, this State, and was married, December 25th, to Miss Mary A. Lanphere, of Whiteside county. He immediately returned to his home and in 1865, becoming impressed with the idea that Iowa was the land which was destined to become the garden spot of the West, he came to his present location, in the spring of that year, where he owns a valuable farm of 260 acres of well-cultivated land, well stocked. His family consists of four children living: Linus, Emma, Frank and Clark, and he takes great interest in giving them the benefits of a liberal education.
