Dr. Henry A. Goodale

Died at his home in East Tawas, Thursday, July 16, 1903, Dr. Henry A. Goodale, aged 79 years, nine months and 13 days.

The deceased was one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Iosco County, having resided here 32 years. He was born in New York state October 3, 1823 and came to Michigan in 1840. He located in Flint, where he studied medicine and graduated from the Cleveland Medical College in 1848. In 1862 he enlisted as surgeon of the 21st Michigan Infantry and served throughout the war, seeing much service, including three months and nine days as a prisoner in Libby Prison. After the close of the war, he settled at Bay City in 1865, where he remained a few years before coming to East Tawas.

In early life, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Buell of Genesee County, who died about 1851, when his only child, Henry B. Goodale, now residing in Wilber, was an infant. He was married a second time to Miss Mary Davis, who died about four years ago.

Dr. Goodale was a member of G.K. Warren Post GAR, of Iosco Lodge K of P, under whose auspices the funeral was held Sunday afternoon. He has also for a number of years been a member of the board of pension examiners.

The funeral was held from his late residence at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Rev. F. A. Saylor Jr. of Christ Episcopal Church officiating and the remains were laid to rest in the GAR Cemetery.
Civil War - Enlisted 13 February 1863 at Flint, Genesee County, Michigan; commissioned and mustered in on 7 April 1863 as Assistant Surgeon, Company F, Michigan 21st Volunteer Infantry Regiment; captured and imprisoned 20 September 1863 at Chickamauga, Georgia; Confined at Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia; promoted to Surgeon, 11 April 1865, Company S, Michigan 11th Veteran Infantry Regiment; mustered out on 16 September 1865 at Nashville, Tennessee.

“Henry A. Goodale, M. D., has been engaged in the practice of his profession in Iosco County for a longer period than has any other physician within its limits. It was in 1869 that he first came here, and since 1872 he has been steadily engaged in practice, having during the intervening years gained a reputation as a skillful and reliable practitioner. For the successful discharge of professional duties he is well qualified by thorough training, being a graduate of Cleveland Medical College. His experience in the treatment of very form of disease enables him to make an accurate diagnosis of even the most intricate case, and to introduce the remedial agencies that will most quickly bring back the system to its normal condition.
Dr. Goodale was born in Berkshire, N. Y., October 3, 1823, and is the son of Chester and Sarah (Johnson) Goodale. His paternal grandfather, Isaac, was born in Vermont, and was throughout life an agriculturist, which occupation he followed in the Green Mountain State. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War he enlisted in defense of the Colonies, and served with valor throughout almost the entire period of the conflict. He had a large family.
The father of our subject, who was a millwright by trade, served in the War of 1812. In the fall of 1842 he came to Michigan and made his home in Genesee, where he and his wife remained until death. Their family consisted of seven children, namely: Francis B., a manufacturer of boots and a resident of Emporia, Kan.; Bradford, a cabinet-maker, whose home is in Richland, N. Y.; Henry A.; Sophronia, who has been twice married, and now lives in Lapeer County; Samantha, wife of Isaiah Kitchen, and a resident of Marion County, Ore.; Sarah, who died in girlhood; and George, who was accidentally shot at Genesee, Mich.
The literary education of Dr. Goodale was received in a college in Berkshire, N. Y. In the spring of 1842 he came to Michigan, and made a brief sojourn in Howell. During the summer of the same year he visited his uncles, several of whom lived in the state. Before leaving New York he had assisted his father at the trade of a millwright, and had also engaged to some extent in farming. After coming to this state he worked as a farm laborer until attaining his majority, and then traveled in the West for a time.
Under the preceptorship of Dr. M. I. Terrell, of Lapeer, Mich., our subject commenced the study of medicine, and afterward took a course of lectures in Cleveland, Ohio, returning thence to Lapeer, and from there going to Flint, where he formed a partnership with Dr. Lammon, but remained only a short time. Removing to Genesee, he settled upon a farm, to the management of which he gave some attention, but meantime continued to practice his profession. In 1863 Governor Blair commissioned him Assistant Surgeon of the Twenty-first Michigan Infantry, which he joined at Murfreesboro, Tenn., and with which he remained until the battle of Chickamauga. During that engagement he was captured by the Confederate troops, and for three months he was confined in Libby Prison. Upon being released he rejoined him regiment at Chattanooga, and accompanied them on the memorable march to the sea. At Goldsboro, N. C., they joined General Schofield’s army, and went to Raleigh for the purpose of flanking General Johnston, but while there received the news of the surrender of Lee’s army. Dr. Goodale was commissioned Surgeon of the veteran Eleventh Michigan Infantry, his commission being signed by Governor Crapo, of Michigan. He was ordered to report at Knoxville, Tenn., and there and at Cleveland he had his headquarters until he was mustered out of the service in September, 1865.
On his return to Michigan Dr. Goodale spent a short time in Genesee, and in the fall of 1866 removed to Bay City, where he opened a drug store, and also commenced the practice of medicine. In 1869 he embarked in the drug business in East Tawas (this being a branch of his Bay City store) for about a year. In 1870, however, he transferred his interests to this point, where he has since resided.
The first marriage of Dr. Goodale united him with Miss Mary Buell, a native of Batavia, N. Y., who died in Genesee, Mich., leaving one child. This son, who is named Henry B., now has charge of the water works in East Tawas. The second marriage of the Doctor united him with Miss Mary A. Davis, a native of Vermont. They had two children, but both are deceased. In politics the Doctor is a Republican, and upon the ticket of his party he has been elected to a number of local positions, all of which he has filled satisfactorily and with credit to himself. For many years he served as United States Pension Examiner. Fraternally he is connected with the Knights of Pythias. He is a man of genial, companionable nature, one who easily wins and retains friends, and who by his upright life and long and intimate connection with the progress of this place has won the confidence of all with whom he has had professional or social relations.” – Excerpt from “Portrait and Biographical, Record of Northern Michigan,” published by Record Publishing Company of Chicago, 1895.
