[Bourbon County]  [Millersburg Precinct]

GEO. T. GOULD, A.M., D.D., Pres. Millersburg Female College.  This
gentleman was born in the little sea-coast town of Beaufort, N.C., Dec.
17, 1842; his education was begun in Raleigh, N.C. under that
distinguished teacher of boys, Jefferson Lovejoy, Esq. It was continued
in Louisville, Ky., in the best public and private schools of the city;
and was concluded in Harrodsburg, Ky., at the Kentucky University, then
located at that place.  In April, 1861, he was licensed to preach by
the Quarterly Conference of the Harrodsburg Methodist Church, and filled
the pulpit of that station for his father, till [sic] the following
September.  From this time till [sic] the early part of Sept. 1862, he
filled likewise for this father, the pulpit of the Simpsonville, Circuit,
Shelby County, Ky.  The same month he joined the Kentucky Conference, then
assembled in Flemingsburg, and held various appointments of increasing
importance, till [sic] in Maysville in 1872, his throat completely gave
down, and he was compelled to retire from the active work of the ministry.
Then it was he became connected with the Millersburg Female College, as
joint proprietor and principal, which position he still holds, with the
exception of now having undivided control.  In 1877, the degree of D.D.
was conferred upon him by the Kentucky Military Institute, Col. R. A.
Allen, Principal.  On his father's Dr. Gould is related to the large
family of the same name that originally settled in New York, and thence
have spread into almost every other State of the Union.  His mother was
an Oliver, a granddaughter of the North Carolina Marshalls--the family
from which Gen. Braxton Bragg was directly descended, and which no doubt
was a branch collateral to the Virginia Marshalls, and consequently to
those of Kentucky.  Dr. Gould, though somewhat known as a controversial
writer, a reviewer and a platform speaker, has thus far led too active
and busy life in the ministry, and more especially in the school room,
to produce any thing of a permanent and extended character.  His
greatest distinction is having under adverse circumstances, built up the
Millersburg Female College, from a mere local school with four or five
teachers, and some twenty boarding pupils, to one of the largest and
most celebrated Institutions in the South and West, presenting a faculty
of 18 able and experienced teachers, and a boarding department of 100
pupils.  Dr. Gould is small in statute, but fleshy, weight 160 pounds,
though less than five feet, six inches in height.  His complexion is
dark, hair thin, speech quick, movements nervous and manners pleasant.
Vim, enterprise, determination, self-reliance, untiring energy,
rapidly formed conclusions and willingness to assume risks from which
the more timid or less reliant shrink, seem to be the main ingredients
in his character.  Having not yet reached his fortieth birthday, he is
scarcely in his prime, and may reasonably be expected to accomplish
even greater things in his chosen field of enterprise.
