George Goodson, farmer, P. O. Gardner, is a native of England, born February 
20, 1833; he had very limited educational advantages while young, but, after 
coming to America, in 1857, he taught himself to read and write, and 
acquainted himself with the common branches of education. The parents of our 
subject were John and Lucy (Howett) Goodson, natives of England; he was a day 
laborer, and died in 1864. She, born March 12, 1813, is still living in 
Gardner; she is the mother of eleven children, of whom subject is the eldest. 
He came to Grundy County in 1859; enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and 
Twenty-seventh Illinois Volunteer Infantry, in which he served eight months; 
he was disabled while building barracks in Chicago. In January, 1860, he 
married Margaret Snyder, born in 1840; she has borne him three children, viz., 
Mary, Frank and John. Mr. Goodson carries on a general farming business, and 
is a member of the Republican party.
