Samuel Goode (mayor)

Samuel Goode /ɡud/ (October 1819 – 26 July 1901) born in Hampton Charles, Bromyard, Herefordshire, was a mayor of Adelaide, South Australia.

He arrived in South Australia on 24 September 1850 on the Princess Helena with his parents Samuel and Mrs. Goode, brothers Matthew (later of Matthew Goode and Co) and Charles Henry (later Sir Charles, founder of Goode, Durrant and Co.), and sister Mrs Marshall. Another brother, Ernest Russell Goode ( – 23 June 1927) was born at Ivingtonbury and emigrated to South Australia.

In England he had worked on his father's farm, but for much of his first seven years in South Australia he worked as a draper with brothers Matthew and Charles as Goode Brothers. In 1857 he returned to England to marry a Miss Russell of Kingsland near Leominster and returned to Adelaide, rejoining his brothers' firm. He returned to Leominster around 1860, where at Ivingtonbury he profitably bred Hereford cattle and served on the Leominster town council. In 1889 he again returned to Adelaide and ran farms near Islington railway station (later the suburbs Regency Park and Kilburn) and at north Norwood. He was elected to the Adelaide City Council and served as mayor from 1863 to 1864. To him fell the honour of laying the foundation stone for the new Town Hall's Albert Tower.

In 1865, he travelled with his wife and children to London on the clipper ship City of Adelaide (became the world's oldest surviving clipper ship).
