Notes for Isaiah R. Goodfellow
History of Henry Co. Illinois shows a meeting of people who organized a unitarian church at Geneseo, 27 oct 1868. Isaiah R. was one of them.
In the 1870 Federal Census Isaiah and Susan with 5 children were living in Chicago's 16th Ward. Isaiah's profession was listed as, " gold pen maker." That same census showed Hugh C. Goodfellow, wife Elizabeth, and baby son William R. in the 12th Ward, and Thomas Miles Goodfellow and family in the 14th Ward. This is a suprise to me because I couldn't find them for a long time. One reason was that Isaiah's name is put down as "Israel" by the enumerator of the census, and the other reason is that they lived in Geneseo, Henry Co.., Illinois, during all other cesus' after they moved there from Ashland, Ohio in the early 1850's. Thats where Susan's parents lived, as far as I know, during the same many decades. As the first note shows, they were in Geneseo in October 1868, which means they'd barely arrived in Chicago in time for the census.
Isaiah Goodfellow was a Worshipful Master of Stewart Lodge #92 A.F.&A.M.(masons). He was a charter member of Modern Woodmen of America, Geneseo camp #40 which was organized 30 june 1884.

Notes for Fannie (Child 4)
Fannie was born late in 1861 or early 1862.
In the 1880 Federal Census she is listed in Cabarrus Co., TWP 12, North Carolina, living with Luke and Juliette Dorland, employed as a teacher, age 18. Julia, (as she is listed on that census), was her father Isaiah's older sister. None of Luke and Juliette's children are listed in the household. No doubt they had all gone off on their own by then.
