Henry C. Good, a substantial farmer of Jefferson Township, Ouachita County, Ark., owes his nativity to Maury County, Middle Tenn., where his birth occurred February 12, 1830, and is the son of Amos Good, who was born in the Old Dominion in 1802. The latter came with his parents from Virginia to Tennessee when a baby, attained his growth in that State, and was married in Maury County to Miss Saloma Collins, a native of North Carolina, born in 1803. Shortly afterward they moved to Kentucky, and in 1850 emigrated to Ouachita County, Ark., where he resided until his death, which occurred in 1883. He was one of the earliest settlers and a farmer and mechanic by occupation. His father, John Good, was a soldier in the French and Indian Wars. The mother of our subject died in this county in 1885. She was the daughter of Stephen and Anna Collins, the former a soldier in the War of 1812. Henry C. Good, the third of five children, attained his growth in Kentucky, and received his education in that State. Before his marriage, he came to Hempstead County, Ark., in 1856, and was married there in 1857 to Mrs. Mary L. Jones, a native of Tennessee, born about 1838. She died about 1858, leaving one child, John A., who now resides in Ouachita County. Mr. Good resided in Hempstead County until the beginning of the war, and has been a resident of Ouachita County since 1865. He enlisted in the Confederate army in March, 1861, in the Twentieth Arkansas Regiment of Infantry, and was in the battles of Oak Hill, Lexington, Mo., Corinth, where he received several flesh wounds, Champion's Hill, and Big Black. At the close of the war he returned to Arkansas, and in 1867 was married to Miss Susan Tribble. She was born in Ouachita County in 1852. Eight children were born to their union--five daughters and three sons: James M., William N., Mollie E., Fannie K., Charley E., Henry L., Lillie M., and Ida E. After coming to this county Mr. Good began cultivating the soil, and is now the owner of 160 acres of land, with about eighty acres under cultivation. He was made a member of Woodlawn Lodge No. 25, Masonic fraternity, in 1855, and is now a Master Mason in that lodge. He has always supported the Democratic ticket, tolerating its views as sound and well suited to any man, and his first presidential vote was for James K. Polk. Mrs. Good is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
