GOULD, GEORGE LAMBERT, was born in Woburn, February 6, 1852, being the son of John Averell and Elizabeth Cheever (Leach) Gould. Mr. Gould traces his ancestry almost entirely from the early settlers of Essex county, thirty-four of the men who were settled in Ipswich in 1638 being in this genealogical line. In this list are included the names of Cheever, Leach, Emerson, Bradstreet, Dudley, Choate, Andrews, Perkins, Bulkeley, Baker, Coggswell, Waldo, Averell, Peabody, Goodhue, Appleton, Capen, Herrick, Proctor, Foster and Knowlton. He was educated in the public schools of his native town and Chelsea, and left the High school of the latter city after a partial course of two years to enter the paint business. He was then but fifteen years of age. He has remained in this business ever since, having been for the past ten years president of the Gould & Cutler Corporation, doing business at 69, 71 and 75 Union street, Boston. Although Mr. Gould has never sought political preferment, he has served his city in many ways. He has been a member of the Malden Water Board, a Commissioner of the sinking fund for six years, and a member of the committee appointed by the Town to draft a city charter. Mr. Gould was one of the founders of the Malden Co-operative Bank in 1887, and has served continuously as Director and Vice-President, and is now President of that Institution. He has been President and a Director of the New England Paint and Oil Club, and was one of the founders, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and is now Vice-President of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish Association. He is a life member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, a Director of the Malden Historical Society, and a member of the Historical Society at Topsfield, where he has a summer home. He is also a member of the Society of Colonial Wars, being made eligible by the services of nine ancestors; the Sons of the American Revolution, Kernwood Club, Royal Arcanum, A. O. U. W., and U. O. G. C. He married, June 23, 1875, Lizzie Lawrence Cooke of Chelsea, and has four children, Warren Furber, Bertram Cheever, Miriam, and Rosamond. His home for twenty-two years has been at No. 24 Maplewood street in the Maplewood District, but he is now building a new house on Alpine street at the West End, opposite the Kernwood Club.

(XIII) George Lambert Gould, son of John Averill Gould (12), was born in Woburn, February 6, 1852. He attended the public schools of Woburn and Chelsea, and at the age of fifteen years entered the employ of John Porter & Company, Boston, receiving careful training under the direction of his father. In due time he became manager of the business, and occupies a leading position in the paint and oil trade. For nearly twenty years he has been president of the Gould & Cutler Corporation, extensive dealers in paints, oils, varnishes, etc., formerly at 69 to 75 Union street, and now at 105 North street, Boston, and under his management and through his connection with the manufacturing" concern of Benjamin Moore & Company, Brooklyn, Chicago and Toronto, the business has expanded to large proportions.
Mr. Gould resided since coming from Chelsea in 1877, in the Maplewood district of Malden, and since 1899 has occupied a handsome residence on Alpine street, in the west end of the city. Although not an active partisan in politics and having no aspirations for public office, he has rendered able and faithful service to the city in various positions of trust and responsibility. He has been a member of the Malden water board, one of the sinking fund commissioners for six years, and was a member of the committee appointed by the town to draft the city charter. He was one of the organizers and for a number of years president of the Malden Co-operative Bank. He is a charter member and former president, of the New England Paint and Oil Club, and president of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish Association, having been respectively second and first vice-president. He is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars by virtue of the service of nine ancestors; of the Sons of the American Revolution; of the Ancient Order of United Workmen ; of the Royal Arcanum: of the Kernwood Club of the United Order of the Golden Cross, and the First Congregational Church of Malden. He is a life member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society: director and vice-president of the Malden Historical Society, and a member of the Historical Society of Topsfield, in which town, on account of his ancestry, he feels a keen interest. In 1895 he erected upon the ancestral estate of the Goulds in Topsfield a beautiful summer home which contains many interesting pieces of antique furniture, household utensils, etc., and he took special pains to restore and preserve an old barn built by one of his ancestors in 1749. In various ways he has assisted in forwarding the general welfare of the town of Topsfield, and in 1900 served on the executive committee for the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its settlement. Governor Crane, Lieutenant-Governor Bates, Senator Lodge, Justice William H. Moody, Congressman Augustus P. Gardner, Postmaster General George Von L. Meyer and other distinguished men participated in the ceremonies and festivities, and the affair was eminently successful. Mr. Gould has traveled extensively in the United States and Canada, Europe and South America, and in 1905 made a trip to Alaska.
He married, June 23, 1875, Lizzie Lawrence Cooke, born in Boston, May 3, 1856, daughter of Dr. McLaurin Furber and Mary Elizabeth (Moore) Cooke. She removed to Chelsea with her parents in 1860, and lived there until 1877 when she removed to Maiden with her husband. She received her education in the public schools of Boston.
