  JOHN GOODLAND, JR., a member of the city council of Appleton, Wisconsin, where he has long been prominent in public life, was born in the old railroad house in Appleton, July 1, 1872, a son of Judge John and Caroline (Clark) Goodland. Judge John Goodland was born in England, in 1831, and came to the United States in 1849, locating in Oneida county, New York, from whence he came to Walworth county, Wisconsin, in 1854. He first taught school for some years, was later employed as a clerk in a store, and then engaged in a grocery business on his own account, but this place was destroyed by fire. He was then elected justice of the peace, but in 1864 removed to Chicago, where he was employed by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway until 1867, when he came to Appleton as agent for the same road. Seven years later he resigned his position to enter the insurance field, and while thus engaged he began the study of law, being admitted in 1879 to practice in the district and circuit courts. He was elected district attorney in 1888 and to the position of judge of the circuit court in 1891, but prior to his taking his seat a vacancy occurred and he was appointed to fill out the unexpired term. He was re-elected in 1897 without opposition, and again in 1903 and 1909, and he is now serving as an honored member of the bench. He was married in New York to Miss Caroline Clark, who died in 1893, leaving nine children, of whom five survive. One son, Walter S., is mayor of Racine, Wisconsin. John Goodland, Jr., received his education in the public schools, and during the years 1886 and 1887 he was employed in his brother's printing establishment at Wakefield, Michigan. In 1888 he attended Deland Business College, and during the next three years he was a member of the staff of the Post and Crescent of Appleton. In 1890 he established himself in the meat market business in Appleton, but after one year bought the Telulah Springs, the water of which he sold in Appleton, also shipping outside; he continued in this business fifteen years. In 1900, he was elected city treasurer, acting in that capacity until 1911, when he was elected councilman. Mr. Goodland is a member of the Eagles, the Elks, the Knights of Pythias, the Appleton Boat Club and the Harmony Club. In 1891 he was married to Miss Anna Brandl, of Appleton, daughter of Jacob and Theresa Brandl.
