History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties,  Ohio
Pub by Williams Bros,  1880

DR. LINCOLN GOODALE,

was born in Worcester county,  Massachusetts,  February 25,  1782.  His
father,  Nathan Goodale,  was an officer in the Revolutionary war,  who
coming west,  settled first at Marietta,  in 1788,  and afterward at
Belpre.  There he was captured by the Indians,  in 1794,  and died near
Sandusky,  to which place the Indians were taking him in hope of
obtaining a ransom.

Dr. Goodale having studied medicine at Belpre,  settled in Franklinton, 
and entered upon the practice of his profession,  in 1805.  In 1812,  he
volunteered his services in the war which had just broken out,  and was
appointed,  by Governor Meigs,  assistant surgeon in McArthur's
regiment.  He was taken prisoner at the time of hull's surrender,  and
sent to Malden with wounded men.  Being released,  he returned to
Franklinton in October having been in the service less than a year. 
Removing to Columbus in 1814,  he entered upon that successful career as
a merchant which he followed for more than thirty years and in which he
acquired great wealth.   His death occurred April 30,  1868,  in his
eighty-seventh year.  Several years before his death,  he gave to his
adopted city the beautiful park with which his name will be forever
identified.
