     James R. Goodrich was born on 25 August 1805 at Swanton Falls, Vermont.² He was the son of Ezekiel Olmsted Goodrich and Lucy Cook Pitman.¹ He married first Marian Lockwood in 1830 at Champlain, New York.² He married second Emiline Minil of Rome, New York in 1861.³ He married third Mrs. Amanda Samuels of Dubuque in 1869.³ He died after 1869.³

     Transcribed from Case: "his early education was confined to the common schools, and his first employment that of clerk in a store. At a quarterly meeting, at the age of eighteen, he was converted and joined the M.-E. Church; prompted by his own convictions, and encouraged by his brother, he commenced preparations for the ministry, and, while so engaged, labored as a local preacher on several circuits; and in 1828, was admitted as a preacher on trial to the N.-E. Conference, and appointed to the Pittsfield circuit, and annually thereafter to different fields, where he served with marked success and acceptability until 1837, when, at the solicitation of the Rev. John Clark, he took a transfer to the Illinois Conference, and was stationed at Milwaukee. In 1830, he was married to Marian Lockwood, in Champlain, N.Y. On reaching Milwaukee with his family, he found no church-building or parsonage. A carpenter's shop was fitted up as a preaching place, and with his wife and two children was housed in what was intended for the kitchen of a parsonage. He was received in that infant city with great kindness, and his ministry and labors were crowned with success; but the lake winds proved so injurious to his health that he was forced to get away from their influence, and removed to Dubuque and engaged in merchandizing. His health having improved, in 1841, he sold out his business and joined the Rock River Conference, which then embraced Northern Illinois, all of Wisconsin and Iowa; he was made presiding elder of the Green-Bay district, with oversight of the Oneida and Brothertown Indian missions, to which was added the Lake Superior missions. These missions and their schools involved the receipt and disbursement annually of large sums of money, which was done by him, to the entire satisfaction of those to whom he was responsible. In 1844, he was made presiding elder of Chicago district, but remained only one year, the baneful effects of the lake winds upon his weak lungs compelling him again to leave the active work of the ministry. He again engaged in business with his brother at Dubuque, where he resided, loved and honored by all who knew him, preaching as his health allowed, and laboring for the Master until his death. His wife died in in 1858, and in 1861 he was married to Miss Emiline Minil of Rome, N.Y., who died in 1866. In 1869, he was again married to Mrs. Amanda Samuels of Dubuque, who survives him. He ranked high as an able and successful preacher; he was a polished gentleman, amiable in disposition, kind in mien, and won the respect and confidence of all he came in contact with; he was the charm of his home and the social circles in which he moved."⁴
