Goff, who is successfully conducting a meat market in Yetter, was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, November 1, 1852, a son of Albert and Eunice (Pangborn) Goff. After the son completed his education he started out in the business world on his own account by farming in Calhoun County, having arrived here from Michigan in the fall of 1873. At the end of two years he took up his abode in Lake City and for one year was employed in a livery barn and for a while in a lumber yard at that place. He then removed to Cadillac, Michigan, and for two years was engaged in the meat business, after which he returned to Lake City, where for nine and a half years he was in the employ of the Eastman-Gardner Lumber Company. During that time he spent two years in Mississippi with the firm, and on the expiration of that period he returned to Lake City, Iowa, and spent one year in the grocery store of J.O. Smith. He next went on a prospecting tour through New Mexico, spending two and a half years there, when he once more returned to Lake City and entered the employ of the Northern Grain Company, of Chicago, conducting a branch establishment at that place. He spent seven and a half years in that way in Lake City and for two years there-after was at Lidderdale, this state. For a similar period he managed an elevator at Lake City and then removed to Yetter to become manager for the Farmers Grain Company at this place, remaining in that connection for four years. He afterward established a meat business on his own account at Yetter and his is one of the successful enterprises in this community. He carries a nice line of fresh and cured meats, studies the needs of his patrons and through his honorable dealing, fair prices and courteous treatment has built up a good trade. He also still owns stock in the Farmers Grain Company here. Mr .Goff was married March 16, 1880, the lady of his choice being Miss Mary E. Chaffee, a daughter of Allen Chaffee, of Lake City. To Mr. and Mrs. Goff have been born three children, but the only surviving member of the family is Daisy, the wife of Fred Wheat, a resident of McIntire, Iowa. A democrat in principle and practice, he believes in a faith born of conviction and in the equality and brotherhood of man. He is a Mason, belonging to Zerubbabel Lodge, No. 240, at Lake City, in which he has filled all of the chairs. He is public-spirited, interested in the growth and development of Yetter and for one year he served as alderman of this place. He is pleasant and genial, although rather quiet and unassuming in manner, and his straightforward business methods have caused him to be looked upon as an exemplary man.
