Daniel Gould, the subject of this sketch, was born in Lyndeborough, N. H., Oct. 19, 1809, and died in Austin, Ill., Aug. 2, 1893. Mr. Gould was a pioneer, coming to Chicago in 1839. He was a builder by trade, and those early years were spent in the erection of some of the first residences in the city, and as a subcontractor on the Illinois and Michigan Canal. He finally settled upon a farm at Elk Grove, Cook County, but in 1867 he removed to Chicago. Since 1871 his home has been at Austin.
Mr. Gould was faithful in every relation of life and always ready for any good work, a man of few words, but firm in his opinions and steadfast for the right. He was one of the charter members of the Presbyterian church at Austin and for some time an elder in the same. Mr. Gould was twice married and had ten children, four of whom, with his wife, survive him. His eldest son gave his life for his country in 1863. The last five years his decline has been gradual and peaceful, and though remarkably patient and quiet he had longings for the heavenly home. Such a singularly pure and upright life reaching beyond the alloted age of man deserves more than a passing notice.
Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.
