-On last Monday Evening, John GOULD, who has been working during the last year for John McDONALD and R. S. BABBITT, took an overdose of Morphine, inadvertently, to relieve a severe headache to which he was subject. It was not discovered that he had done so until the next morning., when Drs. WOODWORTH and TRAVER were called in, who did everything in their power to relieve him, but without avail, and he died about one o'clock yesterday morning. We understand he has friends at Fowlerville, who have been informed of his death. (14 Jan 1886)-OBITUARY.
John G. GOULD, whose death we chronicled last week was known to most of our people only as a quiet citizen, who attended to his own matters in a business like manner, and received, as he deserved, the respect of the community.
He was born in Ripley, N. Y. about 57 years ago and came to Michigan while a young man, having learned the trade of a shoemaker at which he worked until the breaking out of the rebellion when he enlisted in Co. K. 9th Mich. Vol. Inf. In Oct. 1863 he was discharged, having attained the position of 1st Seargt. He re-enlised as a veteran and for meritorious service was promoted to the rank of 1st Lieut. At the close of the war he returned to Michigan and was for a time on the police force at Detroit, but from 1866 to 1870 was the efficient Sheriff of Livingston County. In all his official and private business relations he has been ever considered an honest man.
He leaves two children, a daughter Miss Lulu GOULD, residing with her Aunt, Mrs. judge RUMSDELL, of Traverse City and a son, John, living with his uncle, J. A. LOCKWOOD of Fowlerville.
He was a member of Handy Lodge A. O. U. W., No. 39, of Fowlerville, and his insurance will go to his children.
Old comrades and friends will long remember the generous nature of the man, who through accident has met with death untimely. (27 Jan 1886)
