jamin. Two sisters worked with their mother in the house, and so the family labored and prospered. The tedium of the days was relieved by the social gatherings of the evenings, when the neigh- bors, Barnes, Duttons, Lawtons, Simons and others made merry the long winter hours, when the winds howled without and the snow drifted to the eaves. There were fall huskings, apple bees, singing schools, spelling matches, parties and frolics, so life was not altogether without its bright side. Eventually Joseph went to Boston, which seemed so far away in those days. He was fol- lowed by Gilman Barnes, and Benjamin, saying he was content to stay on the farm, John, Jr., twenty-one, six feet tall, and with thirty-one dollars tied in his handkerchief, started out in quest of fortune. For four years he had a trying experience. But he had associated himself with the Park Street Church, as Sexton, be- come acquainted with men who appreciated his industry and honesty. When he had saved one thousand dollars of hard-earned money he entered into the grocery business with Hayden and Upham on Howard Street.
After a year, in 1832, he hired a store of John Bunstead at the corner of Tremont and Bromfield Streets. All grocery stores in those days had their bars. and on account of its close proximity to Tremont Theatre. this was considered an excellent situation. To the surprise of his friends, he tore out the bar and started a temperance store, while it was prophesied that he would fail with- in a year. He did not, and the sign of John Gilbert Jr. & Co., was familiar to Bostonians for more than fifty years. His nephew, John C. Gilbert, son of Joseph, after working as a clerk for four years, became a partner upon his twenty-first birthday. Troubled by deafness caused by fever, when he was sixty John Gilbert retired, the owner of considerable real estate; he then occupied his time in looking after this.
His success was due largely to his close attention to business and his industry, by which he built up a widely-known wholesale and retail grocery business. A fortunate speculation in the early forties helped him on his way to a competence. A number of business men in Boston forming themselves into a company and making him treasurer, sent a cargo of goods to Oregon, the vessel going around Cape Horn, making a long and trying voyage.

ship reached Portland, Ore., about the time the country was startled by the discovery of gold in California. The rush of men to that place stopped the moving of merchandise so everything reached a high price. Lumber that could be bought in Portland for fourteen dollars a thousand sold in San Francisco for two hundred dollars. The money received for the merchandise here was invested in lumber and goods to be taken to California. The result was that the Boston company received about sixty thou- sand dollars in gold, with deeds for much of the territory of Port- land, Ore. So the speculation was a big success, and the second attempt failing through the dishonesty of the captain, Mr. Gil- bert decided he would stop.
October 4, 1832, he married Mrs. Ann Burrows Attwill, b. in Woodbridge, Eng., June 10, 1802 ; she d. in Boston, July 16, 1884 ; h d. May 25, 1885, his last words being: "I am all ready ; I long to go."

GOODALE.
LEVI (Jonathan, Robert, Samuel, Isaac, Jr., Isaac, Robert), was born in Weare, Mar. 7, 1797 ; his parents soon after removing to Deering, he was educated in the schools of that town, and at Salisbury Academy. He became a teacher early in life. He m. Nov. 6, 1817, Mary, dau. of Thomas and Mary (Newton) How- lett, of Hillsborough, b. Jan. 28, 1799, and like her husband was a successful school teacher. Mr. Goodale lived with his father-in- law on a farm on Bear Hill for five years, when he bought the Thomas Moore farm since owned by Arthur Butler, where he lived until his death, June II, 1877. His wife d. Nov. 25, 1867.
He was a land surveyor and was better acquainted with the lines of the farms in this town and adjoining towns than any man of his time. He was active in business and public affairs; was Selectman fourteen years, twelve of them consecutively; was Town Clerk and Overseer of the Poor; represented the town in the State Legislature in 1844, 1845, two terms ; was Justice of the Peace for thirty-five years ; he administered on 104 estates, by which experience he acquired a good knowledge of probate law, upon which his advice was frequently sought and given without fee. Mr. Goodale was a man of sound judgment, sterling in- tegrity, and a retentive memory replete with knowledge of the early settlement of the town. Mrs. Goodale was a constant source of inspiration and assistance to him, being a woman of high in- telligence with a most pleasing way. Both consistent Christians and of benevolent natures, to aid the poor and unfortunate afforded them the greatest happiness of their lives.

In the line of this family traced from Isaac, s. of Robert, we find eventually the name is changed in its spelling to Goodale. At what time or for what reason the orthography of the name was changed is not clear, but there is a tradition that three brothers living in the same town mutually agreed to adopt different forms of spelling for their personal convenience. If this explanation is correct or not it is certain they all came from the same original family. The third son and fourth child of Robert and Catherine Goodell was Zachariah, next younger of the Isaac already men- tioned, who was b. at Salem in 1639; m. "last of 4th mo., 1666,"" Elizabeth, dau. of Edward and Mary Beacham or Beauchamp, of Salem, b. July 23, 1648.
