No man in Worcester is better known
to a larger circle of friends, acquaint-
ances and fellow workmen than Henry
Goddard. and no one enjoys higher es-
TEEN than he for the many sterilns
qualities which have endeared him 10
the hearts of his fellow-men.
He has been intimately connected
with the life of the Washburn q Moen
Manufacturing Company for over hair
a century, and the family has been
closely connected with the works from
their inception. He was born In Wor-
cester Oct. 4, 1928. His father was Ben
iamin Goddard, an early partner or
Ichabod Washburn, founder OF the
Washburn & Moen works. Mr.. COO
dard was associated with Mr.. Wash
burn in 1881. when the first wire was
manufactured in Worcester in wood
en- factory at Worthwhile. Previous to
this time. in 1922, Mr.. Goddard was
also a partner of Mr.. Washburn in the
manufacture of wooden machinery ana
! lead pipe, the firm doing business under
the name of Washburn q Goddard.
They made the first condenser and long
roll spinning jack ever manufactured
in the county, and among the hrst III
| the country.
In 1874 Mr.. Goddard entered the en-
ploy of the company as wire-draWer,
and upon the death of his father sue
! ceeded to his position as manager OF
| the South Worcester mill There he
remained until the building was de-
stroyed by fire in 1867, when he was re-
moved to the Grove street mill, return
| ing to the new South worcester min
the next year. In 1869 the South Wor-
cester mill was closed up, and Mr. God
dard went back again to the Grove
street buildings, where he remained as
| foreman of the WITHDRAWING and nall
| ing department until last October,
when the arrival of his 10Th birthday
| induced him to give up active work,
| Mr.. Goddard is now enjoying a we'll
earned season of leisure in the evening
of his days, at his pleasant nome Oh
Catharine street.
Mr.. Goddard married Miss Eugenia
| D. C, Ball. a native of Holden and five
children have been born to them, two
| Of whom are still living. These are
julius II. Goddard of Topeka, Kan,
and Willietta, wife of H. E. Ball, of
the same city. Mr.. Goddard has one
brother living, Dorrance s., foreman at
the Washburn & Moen Quinsigamond
|
Goddard. was for many years editor or
The Spy, and afterwards of the Boston
Advertiser, and was considered an eX-
cellent writer. Mr. Goddard is very
well known among the Masons Of the
state. and is an esteemed member of
| the several Masonic organizations of
Worcester. He has been commander
of the knights Templar. He was also
alderman for several terms, and was
quite actively engaged in politics at
one time.
