Jefferson Goodale



Jefferson Goodale, of Pymosa township, settled there in July, 1853, being so far ahead of all others in that neighborhood that it must have been lonesome for a while. His sons F. C. and A. Goodale returned from California in 1854. Frank Everett, Mr. Goodale's son-in-law, came back from California in 1853. Miss Hannah Goodale, (now the estimable wife of H. C. Johnson, of the Messenger) taught the first school in that settlement in 1858.
