GOODNO.
LUTHER S. GOODNO came from Hancock to Braintree, July 4, 1833, and was clerk in Ingalls' store at Peth. He became joint proprietor of the same February 14, 1834, in company with Rufus Hutchinson. He continued in trade ten years; was postmaster from 1836 to 1839; and deputy sheriff from 1841 to 1846. December 23, 1835, he married Harriet M. Stockwell of Cornwall. He moved to Middlebury in May, 1846, and both are now living at Canton, N Y. Some things he writes may be appreciated:
" Braintree is my adopted town; there I spent the best of my youth and enjoyed solid comfort, for the people were of the good New England type My Braintree friends are all like brothers. I have had a rough and tumble game through life. The first temperance pledge I ever signed was that of the old Washingtonian society at the same time the Rev. Ammi Nichols did, who was the society's clerk. I have always lived up to that pledge, the most worthy intention ever formed. When I resided in Braintree I was a democrat, which party was then in its purity. But it has since very much degenerated; at this time the most corrupt party since the days of the Blue Lights. I became a republican in the fall of 1860. Slavery is done away, the southern people are prospering, and though we had to wade through rivers of blood, yet, thank God, this government is free. As the serpent was lifted up for the children of Israel to look upon to be healed, so liberty was lifted up for the healing of this nation. The lamented Lincoln once said to a friend: ' Wait, Dick, and see the salvation of the Lord.' Then came the proclamation of emancipation."
