General Notes: Husband - Israel Elias Good


He studied in the common schools of the region until he had reached the age of sixteen years. He then began to work for his father on the latter's farm, situated two miles west of Export, Pennsylvania, and remained thus employed until he had attained his majority. At the age of twenty-one years he left the parental home and went to the coal fields, where he worked in the mines for the New York & Cleveland Company, whose works were situated near Irwin. He continued thus employed for a period of ten years and then once more took up farming. He continued to pursue farming until the year 1905, when he came to Export and engaged in a mercantile line of business. He settled on a site in West Export and erected there a handsome building where he started his successful enterprise. He did a large general mercantile business.
Mr. Good was active in political work there; he was elected on the Democratic ticket as assessor in the year 1883; he also held the offices of road supervisor and school director, was judge of elections for several terms, and was councilman of the borough of Export.
He was a prominent figure in fraternal circles there and was a member of Export Lodge, No. 1196, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Export; and Export Lodge, No. 652, Knights of Pythias, of the same town.
He attended the Reformed church of Export and was very active in the work of the congregation there, holding the double office of elder and treasurer of the Sunday school.
