1 DANIEL GOODENOW, or Goodenough, was probably the third settler of the township. He was from Marl- boro, Mass., where he m., Dec. 29, 1746, Martha Banis- ter. For many years, he was one of the most influential men in this town, holding many offices under the rule of the proprietors, being cotemporary with Joseph Collins and Benjamin Tucker. In 1783, he sued the town for a sum of money, which he claimed was due him for the service of his son, Ebenezer, in the war; but, failing to gain the suit, he soon after removed from town, perhaps to Framingham, Mass. Ile resided at different places in town, first locating on the road leading from George A. Porter's to "Butler Hill" in Troy. In 1780, we find him residing on the old Hunt road, which leads from the Hunt farm to the Alger place. Of his children, all but the two youngest were probably b. in Marlboro, Mass. The three youngest were among the first chil- dren baptized in Monadnock No. V.

His wife was Mary Tradition tells us that twenty-eight children were b. to them.

He was an extraordinary benevolent and public-spirited man. Marlboro is very much indebted to him for many of its former important improvements. It was through his generosity that the Universalist Society are now able to boast of their com- modious church-edifice. He also furnished the land, laid out and fenced Granitville cemetery almost exclu- sively at his own expense, and there his remains werc interred. For many years he had expressed a great

desire to be buried there; and he arrived here from his Western home only a few days before his death. He, too, was the leading spirit, if not the prime mover, in the erection of nearly all of our present substantial gran- ite dwellings, factories, etc. Probably, no one man ever lived in this town who did so much for the rapid growth and permanent prosperity of the town as he did in the time he resided here.

He was chief engineer of the Sullivan Palmer International and Inter-Ocean Railroad in Mexico, and on the 29th of August, 1880, was murdered while in discharge of his duty near Rio Hondo. The Boston Morning Journal of Sept. 24, 1880, says : -
" The death of Colonel W. H. Greenwood, Engineer in Chief of the Sullivan Palmer Rail- road enterprise, has thrown a gloom over the capital. Indignation against the crime, sympa- thy for the widow, and grief for the loss of a man honored and respected by all who knew him, have been manifested everywhere, in all grades of society. His funeral was attended by about one hundred and fifty persons, among whom were Americans, English, French, and Germans, and, we have to add, a very large number of distinguished Mexicans. The gov- ernment has resolutely taken the most active steps to discover the criminals, and already three men have been captured, against whom it is said the evidence is strong. Colonel Green- wood was highly respected by all who knew him, and we trust for the honor of Mexico and in the name of justice that due punishment

of the criminals will promptly follow, so that it will appear this was not an act of Mexico, but of vile wretches whom we all abhor. He was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and had surveyed and superin- tended the construction of over three thou- sand miles of railroad. It was his firm reso- lution to build the railroad to Toluca in five months." (See Chap. XIII.)
