Patrick G. Goode
Patrick G. Goode came from Xenia in the spring of 1821, and from July, 1821, until October, 1822, was Prosecuting Attorney of Madison County. He possessed an overpowering appetite for strong drink, and after remaining here a couple of years removed to Sidney, Ohio. Soon afterward he abandoned his drinking habits, was joined by his wife, who had previously separated from him, became Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and Member of Congress, and during his lifetime was one of the most prominent men in that portion of Ohio. We have also heard that he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in his latter years was a preacher of that denomination.
