General Notes: Husband - Thomas H. Goon

---

He acquired his literary education in the public schools, and under his father's instruction learned the shoemaker's trade, which he followed for six years. He then canvassed the county in the sale of sewing machines. While in that business he was married, and lived at several different places, including Bloomington. He sold more machines than any of his competitors, and received a premium from the company for the largest sales. Quitting that business, he came to Kerrmoor in July, 1886, and opened a restaurant, barber shop and pool room, which he conducted for six years. He then erected the "Mountain House" for a brother-in-law, and furnished the same, which he then successfully carried on. He still had his barber shop in connection with the hotel, but disposed of the restaurant and pool business, and also conducted a livery stable.
Socially, he affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of the Golden Eagle; politically, he was identified with the Democratic party, and advocated the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
