Daily Herald, Clinton, Iowa, March 19, 1890.

DeWitt, Iowa, March 19, 1890.

DIED-
At his residence, at DeWitt, on Sunday, March 16, 1890, at 2:30 p.m., Dr. B. J.
Gould, of pneumonia, following an attack of the grippe, after an illness of one
week.

Dr. Gould was born at Ware, Massachusetts, September 22, 1842, and was therefore
at his death aged 47 years, 5 months and 23 days.

He was married at his native town to Miss Sarah Holden, a resident of that
place, September 23, 1863, and came to Iowa, first stopping for a short time at
Davenport, where a brother resided, about fifteen years ago.

He shortly afterward located at DeWitt, where he commenced the practice of
dentistry, which he successfully continued ever since.

The doctor was an excellent singer, and in musical circles wherever known, his
ability in this respect was recognized. 

The doctor was a polished gentleman with a cordial and courteous greeting for
everyone. His presence will be greatly missed in DeWitt, and especially will the
musical people and the choir of the Congregational church, of this place, of
which he was so conspicuous a member, feel his loss.

The remains were taken to the Congregational church on Monday afternoon where
funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. H. York, pastor. The chair occupied
by him as chair of the choir was tastefully draped in his memory and the choir
sat during the services deeply affected but voiceless. The body remained in the
church during the night, and on Tuesday morning was taken to the depot where it
was taken by the east bound train to his old home in Ware, Massachusetts, for
burial, accompanied by the stricken wife and only son, C. Fred, now residing in
Sioux City, their only child. The pall bearers were D. Armentrout, D. Drew, W.
A. Cotton, T. S. Wheeler, W. Lee, G. H. Christiansen, A. W. Jack and L. F. Brown.
