DIED.
GOODENOW -- At his residence of Maquoketa, Friday morning, Feb. [sic] 4, '92, at the age of 63 years, Hosea Goodenow passed away and was laid to rest in Mt. Hope cemetery, Sunday afternoon, to the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends.Mr. Goodenow was born in Queensbury, Warren county, N. Y., December 3, 1829. When twenty-six years of age he was married May 10, 1857 to Miss Salina Haviland, who, like himself, is a native of New York State. He settled with his bride at the old homestead and here they have since sojourned. Hosea Goodenow, formerly President of the Jackson County Bank, is recognized as one of the oldest citizens of the Hawkeye State, to which he came in 1846 -- the year it was admitted into the Union as a State. They journeyed overland with teams from Warren County, N. Y., to Schenectady, where they boarded a canal boat by which they reached Buffalo, and from there proceeded by a Lake steam to Chicago. From that point they traveled with teams across the State of Illinois to this county -- then a wild prairie with few inhabitants save the denizens of the prairie and forest. At that time the greater part of the land in Iowa was the property of Uncle Sam, and most of the settlers had located within a radius of twenty-five miles along the river.
For years he has been a great sufferer from a cancer in the face and last fall he went to Chicago to have it removed, having a portion of the lower jaw out away with it. Returning to his home he improved for a short time but the insidious disease again fastened itself upon him and he succumbed, as before stated, on Friday morning. He leaves a wife, one son, one daughter and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
