Read More	Horace was the son of John Goodman of NY and Mary Hill of Bond, Ill. He was married to Ella Cade on April 6, 1887. The Mortician was Fetters and Williams. Buried in Sec.18, lot 176. His funeral was at the Presbyterian Church with Rev. Hart giving his eulogy.Member Court of Honor Lodge Tolon ILL. Their children were: Elmer, Brian, Hubert Hill, Howard Cade and Iva. BEC -------------------- History sent by Adriana HORACE SEYMORE GOODMAN A successful business man, a kind neighbor and an indulgent husband and father, the late Horace Seymore Goodman left the impress of his character on the community and an untarnished name to his posterity. He was born in Peoria, Ill., November 27, 1863, a son of John and Mary (Hill) Goodman. John Goodman was born in the Empire State, but settled near Peoria, Ill., where he was a farmer for a time. He removed to Bondville, that same state, where he and his wife both passed away. They had five children, of whom Horace Seymore was the third in order of birth. Young Goodman attended the public schools of Peoria and Bondville and was reared to a farmer's life under the guidance of his father. On April 6, 1887, he married Miss Ella Cade, a native of Seymour, Ill., a daughter Simon and Sarah (Ashcraft) Cade, born in Lincolnshire, England, and Ohio, respectively. Simon Cade came to the United States when he was eighteen and settled in Illinois where he farmed and raised stock, and where he died. His widow still lives on the home farm there. She is descended from New England ancestors. After the marriage of H.S. Goodman, he bought a farm of two hundred acres near Bondville, paying forty-five dollars per acre. This he fully improved by tiling and soon had it leased to advantage, as he was engaged in the agricultural implement business in Bondville, continuing till 1905, at which time he sold the farm for one hundred fifty-five dollars per acre, and disposed of his business to good advantage. In 1904 he took a trip to California for his health, which had become impaired by too close application to business cares. As he traveled over the state he was very much impressed with its great resources and he made up his mind he would locate here. Accordingly upon his return he closed out his interests and moved to this state. He first bought nine hundred sixty-four acres northeast of Butte City, then added seven hundred sixty more; he then sold three hundred acres, and upon the balance raised grain and stock. He made many improvements, sunk wells on the different ranches and installed pumping plants with gas engines to pump the water for his cattle. He used only the most modern machinerya seventy-five horse-power Best caterpillar engine for plowing and a combined harvester to gather his grain. In 1903, wishing to give his children the advantage of the schools of the city, Mr. Goodman moved to Chico Vecino, where he erected a fine home on Fourth Avenue and Esplanade, besides investing in other residence properties. He was very progressive, was the leader in having the telephone line built, aided in securing the new county road by giving a strip sixty feet wide and a mile and a half long, through his property, and was always working to have Chico Vecino annexed to Chico. Fraternally Mr. Goodman was a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Honor. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and politically he supported Democratic candidates. While living in Bondville, Ill., he served as postmaster for years, besides being township school treasurer. He died in Chico, on May 14, 1917, leaving a widow and five children: Howard, Elmer, Brian, Iva, and Hubert, all in California. The three eldest sons are married; Elmer has a son, Elmer Boyd; and Brian has a daughter, Jane. Since the death of Mr. Goodman the interests left by him have been well looked after by Mrs. Goodman, who is assisted by her sons, Howard and Brian, who operate the ranch. In caring for these interests Mrs. Goodman has demonstrated much business ability. She holds the good will and esteem of a large circle of friends throughout Butte County.
