Ill Health Robbed the Pull
pit Of an Eloquent
Preacher.

Rev. George H. Gould. D. D., Of this
city well-known as the first pastor OF
Piedmont church and also from his
long continuation in several other city
pastorates, died at his home, S7S Main
street, yesterday afternoon, after a long
illness, the result of an attack of the
grip contracted last February.
He had been in semi-comatose con-
dition for week. DIR. Gould
was well and favorably known through
out New England, and his loss viii be
deeply felt in religious circles.
Rev. George H. Gould, D. D., son of
Rufus and Mary (Henry) Gould, was
born in Oakham February 20, 1927. His
father was a native of Charlton and his
mother was born in Rutland. The Hen
rvs came originally from Scotland and
settled principally in Virginia, the
most famous representative of the fam
lily being Patrick Henry, the great ora
tor
1t was always the pleasing postulate
of DR.. Gould's imagination. although
the family links are not so closely weld
ed as he might wish, that through his
mother he was a direct descendant of
Patrick Henry.
DR.. Gould fitted for college at Mum
son Acadamy, entered Amherst Col
lege in 1886 and was graduated in the
class of 1850. He then entered Union
Theological Seminary, left it during the
middle year to- attend Prof, Park

fering from i'll health, from over study,
and especially from lack Of physical
training, now so happily enjoyed ny
students, he went west to engage with
an old college friend in railroad engi-
neering, with the hope of recovering MS
health. But instead he contracted a
malignant form of malaria in ths
swamps skirting the western shore OF
Lake Michigan and this misfortune was
the bane and misery of his whole subse-
quent life
During the next two years as strength
allowed, he preached Internationally IN
various cities of the west Chicago,
Milwaukee, Madison, Beloit and others
and also lectured in lyceum courses IN
several states of the northwest during
the winter-this whole experience COW
ering about two years.
Soon after. DR.. Gould formed an ac-
quaintance with the late John b
Cough, the distinguished temperance
advocate and orator, and the friendship
then formed continued until the death
of the latter. Accepting Mr.. Cough
invitation to go with him to England
the next two and one-half years he
spent abroad one year in England, -four
months in Edinburgh, six in Paris, two
in Rome several in Germany, besides
two summers in Switzerland. Before
his return to this country, DR.. Gould
received a unanimous call to the pas
torate of the Bowdoin Street church.
Boston, formerly DR.. Lyman Beecher
but could not entertain it.
In October, 1862, DR.. Gould married
Nellie NJ. Grout, daughter of Jonathan
Grout. Esq, and a sister of Willie
Grout, the young martyr of Balls
Bluff. From two years from this time
he was stated supply at Olivet church
Of Springfield, meanwhile receiving ur-
gent calls from the Sixth Street Pres
byterian church of Troy. n. Y, ano
Park church, Norwich Conn.
In December 1864, he was settled as
pastor of the Old Center church il
Hartford. Connae in which call it was
stipulated that he was by reason of his
bad health, to preach but one sermon

years, it being his first and only set

and during the next tWo or three years

church in Providence, r. l., Walnut
Avenue and Emmanuel churches in Bos-
ton.
In 1872 DR.. Gould began his connec-
ton with Piedmont Church, then in its
infancy, and enjoyed a most fruitful
acting pastorate with that people
which continued for five years. In the
early part of 1872 several members of
Plymouth Church who resided in the
southern section of the city met and
decided that, in view of the rapidly in

Eagle and Rev. A M. Osgood.
The order of the day was then taken
up and Rev. A. Digit was the first
speaker.
Rev. DR.. James Boyd Brady respond
ed He said he was glad to be here
and that when Worcester was men
toned at Boston as his next place ne
favored it, because it was at the CEN
ire of Massachusetts, and that com
monwealth was at the head of the edu-
cational influence of the United States.
He said Massachusetts had been ia
NOUS in producing orators, mechani-
clans and scientists, and it was priv
iIege to labor for Christ in this state,
and especially at it's centre. While there
was no doubt that Congregationalism
was at the front in Worcester, he ar
gued that behind it was Method. SIN
and that all good things go by Metho-
dism. and only bad things go meth
odless. a..

Rev. Mr.. Sanderson said the CONVEX
