General Notes: Husband - George B. Goodlander

---

He was born in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, and came with his parents to Clearfield County, where he received a common-school education. At the age of sixteen he began to learn the wagon maker's trade with Miles Hartsock, of Curwensville, and on completing his apprenticeship came back to Luthersburg and bought some town property, to which he soon brought a bride. He followed his trade until 1860 when, having been elected county treasurer, he moved to the county seat. After serving his term of office, he purchased a half-interest in the Clearfield Republican, and became associated in the management of the paper with D. W. Moore, of Clearfield. From July, 1864, until July, 1865, he held the position of deputy sheriff of Clearfield County, and in the last named year he became sole proprietor of the Republican, which was recognized as the leading journal of the Democratic party in that locality. Three times during Mr. Goodlander's occupancy of the editorial chair the paper was enlarged. His health failed rapidly in the last two or three years, and the paper was conducted by James I. Goodlander, nephew of the editor-in-chief, and son of Daniel Goodlander.George B. Goodlander died, having leased the office first for a year, and by his will the office became the property of James I. and Mrs. Hattie Wallace.
