   FRANK R. GOODALE, a well known citizen of Exeter, who has
been identified with the Exeter Manufacturing Company for the last
fifteen years and since 1900 paymaster for the same, is one of the active
and reliable young business men that New England birth and educa-
tion is apt to produce. He was born at Wells, Maine, August 19, 1880,
and is a son of George B. and Belle M. (Norton) Goodale. Both parents
were natives of Maine and the mother still resides at Wells. The father,
who died in 1900, had been paymaster for the Exeter Manufacturing
Company for some years previously and was a man of the highest
integrity. Frank R. is the youngest of the parents' three children, the
others being: George E., who is engaged in farming in Maine; and
Harry W., who is a physician practicing in the city of Boston. The grand-
fathers were Enoch Goodale and Daniel Norton.
   Frank R. Goodale attended the public schools, including the high
school at Exeter, after which he entered a commercial school at Haver-
hill and when his course was completed, in 1899, entered the employ of
the Exeter Manufacturing Company as a member of its office force and
in 1900 succeeded his father as paymaster, and is also clerk of the
corporation.
   In 1906 Mr. Goodale was married to Miss Edith J. Philbrook, who
was born at Exeter, N. H., and is a daughter of Harlan and Annie
(Jenness) Philbrook. Mr. and Mrs. Philbrook are the parents of the fol-
lowing children: Mary, who is the wife of Irvin Philbrick; Edith, wife
of Frank R. Goodale; Leonard and Frances. Mr. and Mrs. Goodale have
three children: Frank, Alice and Ruth. The family attends the Con-
gregational church. Mr. Goodale gives his political support to the re-
publican party. He is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity,
having progressed rapidly and belongs to the Blue lodge, Chapter and
Council at Exeter, to Exeter Commandery at Portsmouth, Scottish
Rite at Nashua and Mystic Shrine at Concord. He and his wife are
members of the Eastern Star.
