LUCIUS F. GOULD.--An energetic business man of progressive ideas and up-to-date business methods is Lucius F. Gould, who was born December 14, 1883, in Clay County, Nebraska, near Harvard, the county seat, the son of Cleon and Martha (Eller) Gould. The family came to Orangevale, Cal., in 1892, where they settled. His father, a meat dealer, is still living at Hayward, Cal., at seventy-two years of age, and his mother passed away in 1920 at an age of sixty-eight.
Mr. Gould was educated in the public schools and in the school of experience. He took a course in designing and building and then became an apprentice in the carpentering trade. He followed this work until four years ago, when he engaged in contracting for himself, specializing in the building of the better class of houses and flats.
Lucius F. Gould was united in marriage with Miss Evelyn Adell Millard, of Perkins, a native daughter of the Golden State. Fraternally, he is a Scottish Rite Mason, belonging to the Shrine, and an Odd Fellow, of Sacramento No. 2, of which he is a past grand. He is also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and the Master Builders and Builders’ Exchange. Politically he adheres to the Republican party. He is especially fond of baseball, and is deeply interested in the welfare of Sacramento County, being numbered among the public-spirited and respected citizens of the growing community.
