HORACE GOULD, an eminently successful agriculturist of San Benito county, was
born in the town of Chester, Windham county, Vermont, October 12, 1837. He was a
son of Sylvester Gould, deceased, a native of the same State, as was likewise
his mother, Hannah Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Sr., were pioneers of Knox
county, near Yates City, Illinois, where our subject spent his boyhood and youth.

  Mr. Gould left home, when a young man and learned the carpenter's trade, at
Leavenworth, Kansas, and came to California in 1869, for his health. Until Mr.
Gould came to Los Angeles he traveled through the State, but upon reaching this
city he found employment with Perry & Woodworth, who were at that time extensive
builders and contractors.

  Upon the death of his father, Mr. Gould returned home and remained until 1874,
when, August 1 of that year, he returned to California and purchased his present
home, near Paicines, of George Butterfield. On this farm he has made extensive
improvements, increasing it, until he now is the proud owner of 808 acres of
fertile grain producing and sheep-ranging land.

  Mr. Gould married, in the fall of 1870, Miss Hannah A., a daughter of Orson
Gard, deceased, a farmer of Yates City, Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Gould have seven
children, namely: Charles O., John R., Franklin H. and Nellie H. (twins); Edwin
O., Ella L. and Etta B.

  Mr. Gould is a man of great energy, who takes a commendable interest in the
local affairs of his town and county and is one of the Trustees of his school
district.
