Fred Harvey Gould died at his home in Concord, N. H., July 3, of pneumonia, after an illness of three weeks. He was born in Bradford, N. H., Dec. 18, 1849, being the son of the late Moses Gould, a conductor on the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad. His preparation for college was obtained at Colby Academy, New London. After graduation he read law in the office of Minot, Tappan, and Mugridge of Concord, and from his admission to the bar in 1875, has practiced continuously in that city. A brother, lawyer has written of him: " A salient feature of his character was honesty. There was about him a gracious atmosphere of kindliness and good will toward everybody. He was modest, unostentatious, painstaking. Possessed of far more than average ability as an attorney, advocate, and adviser, he never sought notoriety nor played to the galleries. His recreations were largely with nature, — he loved the brooks and the fields and the woods, - and his sportsman's skill, grace, and expertness, especially, with the rifle and the fishing rod, became almost proverbial." For two years he was president of the city common council, and held other minor offices. He was a member of the Masonic order, and an attendant upon the Unitarian church. Mr. Gould was married Sept. 1, 1875, to Miss Florence P. Bailey,daughter of Capt. Joshua Bailey of Bradford. Their only child died in infancy.
