JOHN E. GOODENOW at Maquoketa, grandson of the founder of that town, is a
well known business man and stock breeder whose entire life has been spent in
this community, with which the family name is so closely and vitally identified.
He was born at Maquoketa January 7, 1878. His father, Osceola Goodenow, was the first white child born in Maquoketa. For many years he conducted a general store in that city and owned a large amount of farm land and real estate. He was born in 1840 and died in 1903. Osceola Goodenow married Fannie Cassin, who passed away in 1921. They were the parents of three children: Carlota, widow of Fred H. Young; Mrs. Imogene McIntire; and John E.
John E. Goodenow was graduated from the Maquoketa High School in 1895. His
talents turned toward the practical side of farming and animal husbandry, and
he remained on one of his father's farms until he was twenty-five, when he
rented a place of his own. Later he bought twenty-eight acres, then a hundred
acres, subsequently two hundred and twenty acres more, and at the present time his stock farm comprises three hundred and forty-eight acres, adjoining the city limits of Maquoketa on the south. This farm is widely known over Eastern Iowa for its pure bred live stock. He raises registered Shorthorn cattle, Chester White hogs and Shropshire sheep. In addition to his farming and stock raising interests Mr. Goodenow is a director of the First National Bank and the Farmers Trust & Savings Bank.
From 1920 to 1924 he was secretary of the Jackson County Farm Bureau and for several years was secretary of the Cooperative Stock Shipping Association. He was recently appointed an alderman from the Third Ward of Maquoketa. He
is a member of the school board and with his family worships in the Congregational Church.
Mr. Goodenow married, January 14, 1909, Miss Myrta King. Her parents were
George W. and Harriet (Smith) King. Her father was in the meat business and
for many years lived at Maquoketa. The two children of Mr. and Mrs. Goodenow
are John E., born in 1915, and Dorothy, born in 1920.
