himself a safe banker and weathered the stormy days which proved disastrous to
many banking houses. He was considered one of the best bankers in Iowa.

    Charles Goodenow moved to Sac County many years ago and lived for a time on
a farm north of Wall Lake. Later he moved to town where engaged in the
merchantile business. When his father wished to retire from active business life
Charles was made in charge of the bank.

    Charles was married to Miss Jennie Newby and to this union eight children
were born. Mrs. Goodenow died two years ago. The surviving children are: James
of Odebolt, Mrs. Harry Shannon of Timber Lake, South Dakota, Mrs. John Hoff of
