GOODELL, farmer, residing on section 16, Union Township, was born near Chesterfield, Macoupin County, Illinois, in 1843, son of Joshua E. and Larinda W. (Morse) Goodell. His early life was passed on a farm and his education was obtained in the schools of his native county, where he was reared to manhood. At the age of eighteen years he enlisted in the war of the Rebellion, in Company C, Thirty-second Illinois Infantry. His regiment was under General Grant at Donelson and Shiloh. Fifty men of the Thirty-second Regiment, protected by gunboats, fought against 2,000 rebels at the landing prior to the great battle at Shiloh, and during Sunday and Monday of the historic battle, the regiment lost two-fifths of its men in killed, wounded and missing. The Colonel was wounded, the Lieutenant killed, and every officer who ranked above Second Lieutenant was wounded or killed. The regiment had a strong position and repelled five distinct assaults before being driven from the field. Mr. Goodell remembers seeing General Grant riding along their lines on that memorable Sunday morning. From Shiloh to the siege of Corinth Private Goodell was the regiment Color-Bearer. His regiment participated with Grant in his operations at Holly Springs, Oxford, Mississippi. He joined Grant at Vicksburg, June 12, 1862, and after its surrender he fought General Joe Johnston at Fort Jackson, Mississippi. He then made a seventy-five mile ride to Harrisonburg, Louisiana; was with Sherman on his Meridian raid, which involved the destruction of rebel factories, railroads and cars. In the spring of 1864 he received a thirty-day furlough. He left Clifton, Kentucky with a wagon train fifteen miles in length and 2,500 head of cattle for General Sherman's army in Georgia. For some time his regiment was encamped on the top of Brush Mountain, and stormed five lines of rebel breast-works at Nickajack, encountering but small loss. They were afterward subjected to a terrific shelling, and although over 400 shells were thrown no one was killed. At the election of company officers on Brush Mountain, Georgia, Private Goodell was made Second Lieutenant of Company C, September 1864, while in command of a foraging detail, he was captured by the rebels, with forty men of his regiment. All were unmarried men, young and strong, and endured the hardships and privations of the Southern prisons well, everyone coming out alive. They were confined in a sixteen-acre stockade at Florence, South Carolina, and with 1,000 others received a half pint of corn and cob meal each daily, and on one occasion received nothing to eat for five days, and Christmas and New Year's were also spent as fast days. February, 1865, their camp was broken up, and prisoners placed on trains, and sent to North Carolina, Sherman's close pursuit leading to their release on parole. When taken prisoner Mr. Goodell was a strong, robust man, weighing 168 pounds, and when paroled weighed but ninety-nine pounds. He served gallantly and faithfully, and was never away from his regiment except during his imprisonment. After the war he bought his present farm of 160 acres, for which he paid $3.50 per acre. He came to Wayne County, in 1867, and lived on a rented farm until he had broken and fenced his own land. He now has a pleasant home where he is surrounded with all the comforts of life, and his land is under thorough cultivation. Mr. Goodell was united in marriage, October 22, 1868, to Miss Mary C. Moore, a native of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, born December 1, 1842, a daughter of Burris Moore. They have two children -- S. Alice and Joseph B. Politically Mr. Goodell is a Republican. He is a charter member of Messenger Post, G. A. R., of New York, Wayne County, of which he was first commander. ************* Wayne County Democrat Lucien H. Goodell, son of Joshua and Lurinda Morse Goodell, was born Sept. 14, 1843, near Chesterfield, Macoupin County, Ill. His early life was passed on a farm and at the age of eighteen he enlisted in the Federal army, Company C, 32nd Infantry; spending nearly four years in active service. He participated in the battles of Shiloh, the siege of Corinth, Holly Springs, Oxford, Vicksburg, Fort Jackson, Mississippi, on a raid to Harrisonburg, Louisiana, was with Sherman on his Meridian raid and was in action on Brush Mountain. He was taken prisoner and was six months in Florence and Salisbury prisons. Entering the prison a strong robust young man, he, withstood the hardships of prison life, but came out so emaciated he was unfit for further active service. He came to Wayne County in 1867, bought the farm on which he spent the remainder of an active and energetic life. October 22, 1868, he was united in marriage to Mary Catharine Moore, who survives him. To this union three children were born. The oldest dying in infancy and Mrs. W. E. Sloan and J. B. Goodell living on and near the home farm. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Ellen Brown of Ill., and one brother, W. D. Goodell of Corydon, Ia. In his early life he united with the Congregationalist church, was a charter member of Messenger Post G. A. R., and Odd Fellows Lodge. White the family is bereft of a kind husband and father, the community has lost a good neighbor, a true patriot and a man of absolute honor.
