GOODSPEED. This gentleman came into being in Clinton County, New York, in 1821, his father being a genuine downcast farmer. The family removed to Ohio in 1833; 'but left there in 1842 and came to La Salle County, 111. , the eubject of this sketch afterward becoming, and now being a resident of the village of Odell, Livingston County. His education was derived from the public schools and personal effort, privately put forth. His business is as honorable as that of any other member of the Assembl...y, and equally as lucrative, perhaps. It is nothing more or less than plain farming. Mr. Goodspeed is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church; a Free Mason and an Odd Fellow. He is a solid and unwaver- ing Republican in politics, being, as it were, one of the charter members of the party. He has been Overseer and Commissioner of Highways in his township, and been its Assessor for fifteen consecutive years. He was elected to the House of Representa- tives in 1882, from the Eighteenth District, defeating his oppo- nent by a majority of two thousand votes.
