General Notes: Husband - David M. Good, Jr.


He was born in Leitersburg, Washington County, Maryland, and in 1864 accompanied his parents on their removal to Hagerstown, where he resided until 1873. In that year he came to Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, about 1875, entering the dry-goods firm of Price & Hoeflich, in the capacity of a salesman. After ten years of service he was able to purchase Mr. Price's interest in the business, through Mr. Price's willingness to accept the young man's personal obligations - and every note was paid before it came due. The firm of Hoeflich & Good did a large business. It afterward became the firm of Good, Besore & Unger, Mr. Hoeflich retiring and Mr. Good moving up to the head of the new firm. At a later date Mr. Good sold his interest, and after a pleasure tour through the West he entered the collecting department of the Frick Company, and spent two more years in the South and West, on collections and adjustments for this company. He then bought Mr. Unger's interest in the former business, which was continued successfully under the title of Besore & Good, the latter finally selling his interest to Mr. Besore, who continued the business.
In 1897, in association with his brother, V. B. Good, he purchased the stock of merchandise of J. F. Durbin, and shortly after the formation of the firm of Good Brothers, he entered the service of the Geiser Mfg. Co., first as collector, then as general manager, later becoming president. On account of other increasing business interests he withdrew from the firm of Good Brothers.
In 1902 Mr. Good became one of the organizers, director and first vice-president of the Chambersburg, Gettysburg, Waynesboro Electric Railway Company. He was one of the organizers and directors of the People's National Bank of Waynesboro, and president of the Waynesboro Board of Trade and various industries of Waynesboro. In politics he was a stanch Republican. In religion he was a member of the Waynesboro Presbyterian Church, in which he filled various church offices. [BAFC, 243]
