Father came from Vermont and mother Canadian. In 1885 went to Sac County, Iowa and lived on a farm outside of town for a couple of years before moving into Schaller.

In the 1880 census it states that Chauncey's father and mother were both from New Hampshire.

From 28 Mar 1902 paper: News from Schaller. Mike Callahan, an aged man, residing two miles south of Schaller, who is somewhat demented, wandered away from home Monday evening. After wandering about all night, he came to the home of George Gould, very badly chilled. As Mr. Gould was going to Early he brought Mr. Callahan with him and upon their arrival gave him into the custody of Constable Fuller. J. M. Kelly who was acquainted with the unfortunate man, telephoned to his relatives who, upon hearing of his whereabouts, drove down and took him home.

Hello Jim
Not sure what church my Goulds were members of. They certainly were poor. Isaac Gould did not own any property in Newfane VT or in Leverett MA. A probable son Charles C. Gould did own a small farm in Leverett and his "heirs" lived on it at the time Isaac Gould died in 1847.
I did find a few items on Lorenzo.

I'm guessing the chaplain estimated the year of his birth from his age. The entry for Nathan P. Gould says he was born in Hatfield and enlisted Aug. '62. He lived in Hatfield previous to moving to Northampton.

Hampshire Gazette June 30 1863 (Northampton MA)
N.P. Gould, a private in Company C was also killed in the same action. He was formerly in the employ of Mr. Amos Sawyer in this town. It is said that his will was found on his person after death being dated just three days previous.
* It was actually Lorenzo who died, not Nathan P. Gould.

The probate file on Lorenzo Gould in Hampshire County Registry of Probate (Northampton MA) contains a document that states:
To the Honorable the Judge of the Probate Court in and for the County of Hampshire;
Respectfully represents Albert C. Morton of Williamsburgh in the County of Hampshire that Lorenzo D. Gould who last dwelt in Northampton in said County of Hampshire, died on the fourteenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three possessed of goods and estate remaining to be administered, leaving no widow, and as his only heirs-in-law and next of kin, the persons whose names, residence and relationship to the deceased are as follows, viz: - Chauncey Gould of Fennimore in Grant County Wisconsin brother, that said deceased left a will and codicil herewith presented, wherein no one is named executor Wherefore your petitioner pray that that said will may be proved and allowed, and administration with the will annexed be granted him. Dated this twentieth day of Sept. A.D. 1863. Albert C. Morton. The undersigned, being all the heirs-at-law and next of kin, and the only parties interested in the foregoing Petition, request that the prayer thereof be granted, without further notice.

From the Wednesday, December 24, 1890 issue of THE STAR of Schaller, Sac County, Iowa:

Crystal Wedding

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. George B. Gould, to the number of fifty-two gathered at their pleasant commodious home in Eden township Friday evening, Dec. 19, to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of their wedding day. Mr. and Mrs. Gould were evidently not expecting to entertain friends that evening but soon adjusted themselves to circumstances and a very enjoyable time followed. After a bountiful supper Mr. John W. Martin in a neat little speech presented to Mr. and Mrs. Gould in behalf of their many friends, two beautiful easy chairs, a dinner sett composed of 112 pieces, a nice water sett, a pickle castor and $2.20 in money. Mr. Gould responded in a few feeling words and invited all to come again, singly or enmasse. It was noted that none of the Schaller friends were present although many of their names were on the list of contributors which was presented by Mrs. M. E. Wright to the happy pair.

Mrs. Gould's friends from Wisconsin greatly wished to be present but were unable to come although her father, Mr. Borah was respresented on the list by a $2.00 contribution.

We hope that Mr. and Mrs. Gould may live to celebrate their golden wedding and that happiness and prosperity may ever be theirs.

GEORGE B. GOULD.

This is the era of the installation and use of modern machinery and the
prolific use of the automobile in lightening the former heavy task which fell
to the lot of the average farmer. No one knows the value of labor saving
machinery better than the modern farmer. In every department of his work,
from plowing the land to harvesting the crops, inventive genius has sought
to save him time, expense and labor, and, at a reduced cost, increase and
improve his products and add to the productive value of his land. As a re-
sult, the farm of toda}-, when completely erjuipped, affords its owner an ease
and facility of operation that his father before him would never have dreamed
was possible. The automobile, too, has done much to add to the ease and
profit of farm life and work. Time is money to the farmer as much as to
the man in any other walk of life. To "hitch up" and drive to the nearest
town takes time; the automobile saves three-fourths of it. It serves, too,
in carrying small produce to market and it affords a quicker means of trans-
portation from one part of the farm to another than the horse affords. Ap-
parently the most highly developed industry in Sac county and western Iowa
akin to the developm.ent of agriculture and indicative of the great prosperity
of the region is the automobile business. No town is too small to afford its
garage and place of distribution, and some of them boast several finelv equip-
ped sales rooms and repair departments. In this connection we find that an
agriculturist, George B. Gould, quick to see to what extent this industry
would be developed on account of the demands of the times, established the
Gould automobile sales rooms and garage in Schaller in 191 1. The fore-
sight and business acumen which made him a successful farmer has alike
enabled him to make a success of this business venture. In the fall of 1912
he began the erection of a large concrete structure, thirty-five bv seventv-five
feet in dimension, for a sales room, with a modernly equipped repair shop
twenty-five by fifty feet in extent, and completed the building in May, 1913.
Three men are employed. This concern sells such well known makes as the Jeffrey line, which includes the Ramljler and the New Jeffrey car. the Moon, the Overland and the Maxwell.

George B. Gould was born June 6, 1855, in Grant county. Wisconsin,
the son of Chauncey and Flavia A. (Brusseau) Gould. His father was a
native of, Vermont and his mother is a native of Canada, of French ancestry.
Her father was a Frenchman, who married a lady of English birth.
Chauncey Gould left Vermont in about the year 1853, journeyed to Wiscon-
sin and settled on a farm in Grant county. In 1885 he migrated to Sac county so as to be in the proximity of his son George. For some years he resided on a farm near Schaller and then retired to the town. He died in December, 1900. Mrs. Gould resides with her daughter in Correctionville, Iowa, and is over eighty years of age. Two children were born to them, George B. with whom this narrative deals, and Mrs. Emma Borah, who resides on a farm about four miles from Correctionville.

He whose name forms the caption of this review came to Sac county in
the month of May, 1876, while not yet of age, and settled on three- hundred
and twenty acres of land in section 33, Eden township, paying therefor five
dollars and forty cents an acre, the year previous to his real settlement in the
county. His first dwelling place was a small house sixteen by twenty-four
feet in dimension, which he has twice remodeled from the original plan. It
is a remarkable fact and a typical illustration of the great rise in land values
that the annual rental which Mr. Gould now receives from this farm is more
than the original cost, the rental being eight dollars an acre. Later he bought
