FREDERICK B. GOODENOW

Frederick B. Goodenow, a well known and enterprising agriculturist and stock raiser of South Fork township, is busily engaged in the operation of a farm comprising one hundred and thirty-four acres of rich and productive land. He was born in Maquoketa, Jackson county, Iowa, on the 2d of March, 1881, his parents being George E. and Ella (LeVan) Goodenow, also natives of this county. A sketch of John E. Goodenow, the paternal grandfather of our sub ject, appears on another page of this volume. George E. Goodenow, the father of Frederick B. Goodenow, was born in the old Decker house in Maquoketa on the 26th of February, 1858, and obtained a common school education. In early manhood he wedded Miss Ella LeVan, the marriage ceremony taking place at Slabtown, this county. After having devoted his attention to general agricultural pursuits in Jackson county for about two years he removed westward to Monona county, Iowa, and there made his home for some fifteen years. On the expiration of that period he returned to this county and shortly afterward took up his abode on the farm where he has since continuously resided and which at that time was owned by his father, John E. Goodenow. The property comprises one hundred and thirty-four acres in South Fork township and is one of the most valuable and highly improved farms in Jackson county. George E. Goode now is a democrat in his political views but has no desire for the honors and emoluments of public office. He is now living retired, enjoying in well earned ease the fruits of his former well directed industry and energy. Unto him and his wife were born two children : Frederick B., of this review; and Mary E., who is still under the parental roof.

Frederick B. Goodenow pursued his education in the grammar and high schools of Maquoketa and on attaining his majority he became associated with his father in the conduct of the home farm. In 1904 the latter retired from the active work of the fields and Mr. Goodenow of this review assumed the management of the place, which has since remained under his direct supervision. In addition to his agricultural interests he is also successfully engaged in the breeding and raising of standard bred Hereford cattle and has some of the best cattle in the entire county. Though still a young man, he has already won an enviable reputation among the prosperous and influential citizens of his native county and undoubtedly has a bright future before him.

Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise Mr. Goodenow has given his political allegiance to the men and measures of the democracy, while fraternally he is identified with Peerless Lodge, No. 60, K. P., and Ben De Meer Temple, No. 12, D. O. K. K.
