Myron A. Gould
Myron A. Gould, who conducts a blacksmith and wagon making business at Somers Station, Kenosha County, was born June 25, 1864, in the Somers Township, son of Amon and Laura B. (Baker) Gould, natives of the State of New York. Of their seven children, the survivors are:
Frances, wife of John Mitchell of Somers,
Kittie, wife of Fred Leonard of Bristol,
Myron A., of Somers Station,
Warren E. of Woodstock, Illinois,
Maurice A. of LaCross, Wisconsin.
Amon T. Gould was a carriage builder in young manhood, later a blacksmith and horse-shoer in Kenosha, where he was an early settler, coming immediately after his marriage. He worked for some years at Kenosha, and then came to Somers Township where he built a shop and carried on all lines of his trade up to within two years of his death. He was considered a man of skill and reliability, and farmers and purchasers would come miles out of their way in order to deal with him. He lived until 1900, dying at the age of 67 years, his wife having passed away in the previous year at the age of 64. They were Methodists in religious belief. The paternal grandfather of our subject died in New York when 100 years old. He was twice married and left issue from both marriages. Elisha Baker, the maternal grandfather was also an early settler in Kenosha County.
Myron A. Gould was reared in Somers and was educated in the district schools. When about 15 years of age he began learning his trade with his father, working in the summer seasons and going to school in the winters. He thus acquired a very good knowledge of the business, and by the time he was ready to marry, was able to establish himself at Somers Station, where he owns his shop and a very comfortable home.
On July 4, 1888, Mr. Gould was married to Miss Addie Heidersdorf, daughter of Christian and Margaret (Meyers) Heidersdorf. The parents of Mrs. Gould were born in Germany and they had five sons and five daughters:
William,
Christian,
Frank,
Fannie
Margaret of Paris Township, widow of William Coughlin,
Addie, Mrs. Gould
Hattie (twin to Mrs. Gould), wife of Frank Holmes of Yorkville township,
Minnie, Henry and John, still home.
The father came to America and settled as a farmer in Yorkville Township, where he died in 1874. His widow still survives, and lives on the old homestead in Paris Township. The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Gould, Conrad Heidersdorf, lived and died in Germany, his children being:
Christian,
William,
Fannie,
Eliza, the latter the widow of Jacob Barnes of Union Grove, Wisconsin.
The maternal grandfather of Mrs. Gould lived his whole life in Germany, married and became the father of four children, the three survivors being:
Margaret, mother of Mrs. Gould,
Jacob and Peter, both of Racine.
Mrs. and Mrs. Gould have had four children:
Loren Jay,
Max A.,
Gladys,
Bernice, the latter of whom died in infancy.
