FRED E. GOODELL, D. D. S.
A native son of Stockton who has
early in life established himself in the professional life of the city of his
birth is Dr. Fred E. Goodell, who was born here on August 27, 1899. He is the son of Frank E. and Rowena (Wollam) Goodell, the former a
native of Calaveras County, while Mrs. Goodell was born in Columbus, Ohio. The family has made their home here for many
years and Mr. Goodell is head of the pioneer hardware firm of Ruhl, Goodell
& Company.
Fred E. Goodell attended the Weber,
El Dorado and Washington schools in his youth and graduated from the Stockton
high school in the class of 1917.
Deciding to take up the profession of dentistry, he entered the affiliated
college of the University of California at San Francisco, finishing its four
years’ course in 1921, when he was graduated with the degree of D. D. S. He then spent one year in Mt. Zion Hospital,
San Francisco, gaining a valuable practical experience in his professional work,
and being a close student, profited well by every opportunity opened to him to
increase his knowledge of his chosen work.
In September, 1922, he returned to his native city and opened his
offices in the Commercial Bank Building, and through his skill and scientific
knowledge he is already well established in his practice.
