    SAMUEL HENDRICKS GOULD, who passed away in December, 1889, is well
  remembered in the city of Carlisle, of which he was practically a lifelong
  resident, and where for fourteen years prior to his death he was chief clerk
  of the Indian Industrial School.
  
    Mr. Gould was born in Carlisle in 1828, and was a son of William Gould,
  also a native of Cumberland county, who died shortly after the close of the
  Civil war, in 1867 or 1868. During the greater part of his life he was an
  auctioneer, and at the time of his death, which occurred very suddenly, in
  the courthouse, he was court crier. His family consisted of eleven children,
  all now deceased, namely: Daniel; Washington, who served in both the Mexican
  and Civil wars; Charles, who was wounded in battle while serving in the Civil
  war, died in hospital, and was brought home for burial; Samuel Hendricks,
  whose name introduces this

  sketch; William; Edward; Elizabeth, wife of William Cammeron; Mary, who
  married Adam Senseman; Ann, wife of Robert Allison; Henrietta, Mrs. Gilsen
  Brandon; and Emeline, Mrs. John Hurd.
  
    Samuel H. Gould received his education in the public schools of Carlisle,
  principally by his own efforts, and in his early manhood learned the trade of
  a painter, which he was obliged to abandon because of the bad effect it had
  upon his health. He then engaged as clerk in stores for a time, and in 1861
  became attached to the Quartermaster's Department at Nashville, Tenn., under
  Col. Bing-ham, continuing therewith until the close of the war. When the
  Indian school was started in the barracks at Carlisle he became chief clerk
  under Capt. Pratt, and continued as such for about fourteen years, until his
  death, which was sudden and caused by heart disease. Mr. Gould was an able
  man, and discharged every duty which he undertook with a fidelity and
  efficiency which won him the esteem of all with whom he was associated in
  business life, his many good qualities insuring high personal regard wherever
  he was known. He was a regular attendant of the First Lutheran Church, and in
  political sentiment a stanch Democrat.
  
    On July 4, 1851; Mr. Gould was united in marriage with Miss Henrietta
  Myers, of Carlisle, who was reared and educated in that city. She is a
  daughter of Henry and Ann Mary (Shetler) Myers, the latter a native of York,
  Pa., and both of whom are now deceased. Mrs. Myers died in 1862, Mr. Myers
  passing away in Carlisle in 1887. He was a carpenter by trade. Mr. and Mrs.
  Myers reared a family of ten children, of whom we have the following record:
  Emeline married for her first husband William Skiles, and after his death
  became the wife of Major A. A. Line, who is also deceased. Susan, Mrs. James
  Gutshall, died in California. Henrietta is the widow of Samuel H. Gould.
  Luther is deceased. Ann Mary is the wife of Joseph Ogilby, of Carlisle.
  Louisa became the wife of Samuel Brumbaugh, of Harrisburg, who now resides in
  Philadelphia. George died in California. Henry died in California. John, who
  married a Miss Leigh, died in Carlisle. William moved to the West, where he
  married, and he died at Wellington, Kansas.
