John A, Gould 
John A. Gould passed away in Bos- 
ton Wednesday at the age of 87 years, 
and was buried yesterday at his birth- 
place in Topsfield. 
Mr. Gould was well known by the 
Manchester people of two generations 
ago as he was the first principal of 
the high school and was in other ways 
prominent in the affairs of the town 
in the 40’s. 
Born in Topsfield in 1819, and edu- 
cated in the schools of his native town 
he took up teaching as a profession 
and in 1841 he came to Manchester 
and taught for two years in the old 
Newport school. He was then ap- 
pointed principal of the school in 
the center of the town, where the 
engine house now _ stands, and 
had 100. pupils under him, rang- 
ing in years from 7 to 20. He 
taught there five years, and when in 
1848 the town voted to establish a 
high school he was elected teacher. 
He taught there two years, when he 
moved away and entered business. 
Twelve of his pupils at the Newport 
school now survive him. 
When he left Manchester Mr. 
Gould went to Woburn to live, but 
engaged in business with his uncle, 
John Porter, in the manufacture of 
Porter’s Burning Fluid. .He was 
founder of the well known Boston 
retail house of Gould, Cutler Co., 
dealers in paints, oils, etc., in which 
concern he has for the past few years 
been silent partner. 
He married a Manchester girl, 
Elizabeth Cheever Leach, daughter of 
Benjamin and Susan C, Leach. One 
son and five daughters, one of whom, 
Elizabeth Porter Gould, is a writer of 
note, survive him. 
While in Manchester he was con- 
spicuous in church affairs, and was 
always held in highest esteem. In 
fact he played the organ at the Ortho- 
dox church for some time, being the 
first to use it after being installed 
when the edifice was remodeled in 
1846. Hetaught music and was a 
composer of music and hymns.
