General Notes: Husband - George W. Good


He born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, received his education there, and lived in Harrison City, until 1873, when he removed with his family to Greensburg, same county. There he was engaged in the musical instrument business until 1880, when he removed with his family to Altoona, Pennsylvania, and continued this business for a time. About 1886 he returned to Greensburg and engaged in the general contracting business, in which he made a remarkably successful record. His first contract of importance was the construction of the Greensburg, Jeannette and Pittsburg trolley line, and was one of the promoters and builders of the Greensburg and Southern trolley line. He also executed large contracts for street paving in Greensburg, and many others of a public or semi-public nature. Among the important buildings in the city which he erected are the following: The court house, in 1891, which he erected in the remarkably short time of forty-seven days; John W. Pollin's store building; St. Clair Opera House; Star brewery; parochial school; Westmoreland Grocery Company's building, and many others. He was the builder and owner of many of the largest business blocks in Greensburg and adjoining towns in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was president of the St. Clair Opera House Company, and director in the John W. Pollins Company, a department store.
He was a member and deacon of the Reformed church. He was also a member of the following organizations: Greensburg Lodge, No. 518, F. and A. M.; Urania Chapter No. 192; Kedron Commandery, No. 18, K. T.
