Notes for Milton J. Goodfellow
In "Dr. Goodfellow", Chaput says on page 108 that ", as soon as Dr. Goodfellow was well established in Tucson he invited his widowed mother, Amanda Goodfellow, to spend the rest of the winter with him and she arrived in late February of 1892. Her Cousin, Robert Baskin, was Mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, and chief justice of the Utah State Supreme Court. He and his family had started to go west but when they got to the SLC area, particularly around the mines at Park City, Utah, in the mountains East of town, he decided to stay. He had a colorful career as a lawyer, and prosecuted many famous Mormons for poligamy. He later became popular with the Mormons because of his promotion of water and sewage projects that made the town a much healthier place to live.
On page 127 Chaput says;" His[Dr. George;] father had died in Oakland in the early 1890's, his mother a few years later. She appears, living in Oakland on the 1900 Census, with her daughter Bessie and Georges daughter, Grace. Oakland, Alameda Co., California probate records Index F-K 1880 thru 1910 LDS#1376491 show his estate records 1663 , register 4, page 384, M.J. Goodfellow, commenced 13 October, 1887.
On page 13 Chaput says that Milton was in Yavapai, Arizona, near Prescott, in 1876. He was working as a mining executive. In the 1880 Federal Census he was living in Fresno, California, working as Superintendent of a Local mine.
The society of California Pioneers records say that Milton J. Goodfellow arrived in California 27 July, 1849.

Notes for UNNAMED (Child 1)
This is the "little boy" who died during the 1850's, according to the old stories about the Goodfellow grave stone in the Downeyville Cemetery. As of August, 2000, I have no clear idea who is under that stone, if anyone.

"Dr. Goodfellow" reports a second marriage for Dr. George. George Parsons, who's diary includes a great deal of information on what must have been a friendship of many decades, says on 14 March, 1906, that he was invited to a party honoring Mrs. George Goodfellow," who I had never seen"; the party was at the Los Angeles home of Dr. George's sister Mary Catherine and her husband Charles W. Fish. Chaput beleives the marriage was in late 1905 or early 1906 and the record was among those destroyed in the great fire after the San Francisco earthquake. See page 145 and 146 of " Dr. Goodfellow".
This part of the book also reports that Dr. Goodfellow was a member of the Bohemian Club, the Claremont Country Club in Oakland, the California Club of Los Angeles, the University Club of San Francisco etc. Chaput speculates that this new wife, Mary Elizabeth, was someone he met at the high social circle he was moving in at that time.
Page 167 of "Dr. Goodfellow" mentions that we don't know what happened to Dr. Goodfellow's widow, Mary Elizabeth. The 1920 census lists a Mary E. Goodfellow, widow, living on Hoover St. in L.A. but she isn't listed in City Directories or the death index. Maybe remarried.
