GEOEGE GOODSELL. 



MRS. GEORGE GOODSELL 



Among the most highly respected citizens of Hornby 

 may be placed Mr. George Goodsell. He is the eldest 

 son of Daniel W. and Dinah Goodsell, and was born in 

 Choconut, Susquehanna Co., Pa., Feb. 17, 1817. He 

 spent his boyhood days on his father^s farm, in which, 

 at an early age, he took a deep interest. When twenty- 

 one years of age he commenced work for himself on 

 forty-one acres of land in Hornby, whither he had come 

 with his parents in 1820, when but three years old ; to 

 this first purchase he has been adding acre after acre, 

 until he has two hundred and eight acres of land, and 

 other property. He has chopped and cleared the larger 

 part of his home farm himself. During the winters he 

 has for a great many years been engaged in lumbering, 

 but of late has given up that interest. 



He married Miss Olive, daughter of Theodore and 

 Charlotte Hendrick, old settlers of Hornby, and late 

 of Orange township, N. Y., March 12, 1846. Mrs. 



Olive Goodsell was born in Otsego Co., N. Y., Oct. 10, 

 1816, and removed to Hornby in 1817 with her parents. 



Of this union the following children were born, viz., 

 Isabell C, born April 6, 1848; she married Layton 

 Powell, of Hornby, and has three children, namely, 

 Ellen, Clarissa, and George. Clarissa A. was born 

 April 23, 1852, and died May 2, 1852. Delilah was 

 born Aug. 5, 1854; married David Kiff, and now re- 

 sides in Pennsylvania; they have one son, Arthur. 

 Dinah E. was born March 22, 1856, and married Clay- 

 ton Roloson, of Hornby ; and Theodore D., born Oct. 

 31, 1860, and died in infancy. 



Mr. Goodsell has been a life-long Democrat, but never 

 takes a very active part in politics. He has held some 

 of the minor offices of his town. He is regarded as 

 one of the upright citizens of Hornby. Both of his 

 parents are still living, honored and respected by all 

 who know them.
