Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, March 10, 1892.

DIED-

GOODENOW-
At his residence, south of Maquoketa, Friday morning, February 4, 1892, at the
age of 63 years, Hosea Goodenow passed away and was laid to rest in Mt. Hope
Cemetery, Sunday afternoon, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives
and friends.

Mr. Goodenow was born in Queensbury, Warren County, New York, 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 the teams from
Warren County, New York to Schenectady, where they boarded a canal boat, by
which they reached Buffalo, and from there proceeded by a Lake steamer to
Chicago. From that point they travelled 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 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 had 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 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. He
leaves a wife, one son and one daughter and a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn their loss.
