    ALBERT GOODER was born on September 9, 1860, in Racine county, Wisconsin,

enjoying the advantages of our American commom public schools. In the year of

1883 he located on the land he now occupies as a home. To this land he has added

three more quarter sections, and has now under improvement over four hundred

acres. Mr. Gooder has fine farm buildings, an illustration of his house will be

found in this history.



    For the last ten or twelve years there has been steady advancement. In the

spring of 1891 Mr. Gooder went to the Pacific coast and took a look at the far

famed lands of the state of Washington, but after seven months, of experience he

returned and decided that Faulk county, South Dakota, was good enough for him.

On March 1, 1885, he married Miss Ada M. Estee, of Belleville, Wisconsin. To

them were born three children, viz: Grace M., Mable E., and Harold G. In

addition to carrying on his farm and caring for his home interests, he has

served as county treasurer in Faulk county, four years. Mr. Gooder has only

twenty head of horses and about the same of neat stock, depending largely on

mixed farming, with land under the best cultivation.



    Mr. Gooder would not consider $40.00 an acre a reasonable price for his

land, and is one of the Faulk county pioneers that is thoroughly satisfied with

his immediate surroundings, being located only one mile from the railroad

station of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad at Orient.
