Emanuel GOOQ, one or the EARL
est Settlers, Died Yesterday.
Emanuel Good, formerly of the we'll
known firm of Good & Sehurmeier, died
at his residence, 364 Broadway, yester-
day afternoon at $40 O'Clock, after a
prolonged illness of typhoid fever. Al
though Mr. Good had been ailing for
some time his death will be sad news
to his many friends, as the hour came
more suddenly than was anticipated. 1t
will be we'll remembered that Mr.. Good
passed through the terrible cyclone at
Lake GervaiS last July, causing nerv-
Gus shock from which he never fully
recovered.
Mr. Good was one of the earliest set
tiers of Minnesota. He came to this
state in April, 1850, and located in the
small hamlet which has since grown
into the great and prosperous city of st.
Paul, ambitious and willing to work at
anything that chance offered. Mr..
Good first found employment in grad
ing steamboat landing. This uncer-
tain way of gaining living was dis
tasteful to him, and he finally decided.
if he failed to secure employment at
some work which would offer more
permanent situation, he would return
home. Such position was Of
fered him in the fall of 1851,
in the saw mill located OH the Missis-
sippi river and owned by the North
American Fur company, under the
charge of Messrs. Borup and Cakes.
His steady and industrious habits and
trustworthiness soon attracted the at
tention of his employers, and he was adj
vahced from one position to another I'M

company until the business was trans
ferred to Col. j. S. Prince, with whom
he continued as trusted and often con-
suited employe. Mr.. Good retired from
the concern seven years ago, after
period OF continuous service OF thirty
two years.
During all these years of unremitting
toll Mr.. Good, through the exercise of
economy, managed to save portion Of
his earnings, which he judiciouSly i'll
vestee in real estate and otherwise, and
thus accumulated quite an estate. The
success Mr.. Good has attained in life
has been fairly earned, and has been
accomplished by hard work, patient in
dustry and a purpose stimulated by
high and honest motives. In every
position in which he mas been
placed he aimed to do full justice
to every interest intrusted to him. and
after period of four decades residence
in st. Paul, no man held more securely
the good opinion of those with whom
he was associated i'll business than Mr..
Good. His achievements show the pos
sibilities to be attained by the honest
and industrious, and was alike credit
able to himself and an Inheritance Of
honor of which his family, in years to
come, will have abundant reason to feel
a justifiable pride. Mr.. Good was
especially friend of the needy. Who
ever came to him in distress or need
found him to be willing helper.
Mr.. Good was born Ill DaUghin coun-
ty, Pennsylvania. Sept. 81, 1897. He
leaves a bereayed wife, five children,
three of whom are married. and large
circle of relatives and friends. both in
Minnesota and Pennsylvania, who
mourn his death
Having been brought up in the faith
of the United Brethren in Pennsyl-.
vania, he. after coming West, joined the
German Methodist church.

only loses pioneer, but also one of the
most honorable and highly esteemed
citizens.
