He established a tannery, the American Oak Leather Company, on Twelfth Street near Kentucky Street. Later the tannery was moved to Cincinnati built where the Union R. R. Station now stands (edit: do they mean Cincinnati’s Union Terminal? Which is next to where American Oak Leather Company stood), The corporation was dissolved about 1935.

There were three children. Helen, Irma, and Frederick. Theresa contracted tuberculosis and she and the children were sent to Paris, France, where she could be under the care of her brother, Dr. Richard Good, a practicing physician there. Incidentally, Dr. Good graduated from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1861 and was a surgeon in the Federal Army during the Civil War. Theresa died in Paris Jan. 22, 1885.
