GOODSELL Among the most highly respected citizens of Hornby may be placed Mr. George Goodsell. He is the eldest son of Daniel W. and Dinah Goodsell, and was born in Choconut, Susquehanna Co., Pa., Feb. 17, 1817. He spent his boyhood days on his father^s farm, in which, at an early age, he took a deep interest. When twenty- one years of age he commenced work for himself on forty-one acres of land in Hornby, whither he had come with his parents in 1820, when but three years old; to this first purchase he has been adding acre after acre, until he has two hundred and eight acres of land, and other property. He has chopped and cleared the larger part of his home farm himself. During the winters he has for a great many years been engaged in lumbering, but of late has given up that interest. He married Miss Olive, daughter of Theodore and Charlotte Hendrick, old settlers of Hornby, and late of Orange township, N. Y., March 12, 1846. Mrs. Olive Goodsell was born in Otsego Co., N.

Of this union the following children were born, viz., Isabell C, born April 6, 1848; she married Layton Powell, of Hornby, and has three children, namely, Ellen, Clarissa, and George. Clarissa A. was born April 23, 1852, and died May 2, 1852. Delilah was born Aug. 5, 1854; married David Kiff, and now re- sides in Pennsylvania; they have one son, Arthur. Dinah E. was born March 22, 1856, and married Clay- ton Roloson, of Hornby; and Theodore D., born Oct. 31, 1860, and died in infancy. Mr. Goodsell has been a life-long Democrat, but never takes a very active part in politics. He has held some of the minor offices of his town. He is regarded as one of the uprigh
