William Goodell was an American reformer from Coventry. He published the Female Advocate to further the movement for the moral reform of unfortunate women, as well as the Youth's Temperance Lecturer, one of the earliest temperance papers for children.
Background
William Goodell was born on October 25, 1792, in Coventry, Chenango County, New York, where his parents, Frederic and Rhoda (Guernsey) Goodell, were among the first settlers.
He was descended from Robert Goodell, or Goodale, who settled at Danvers, Massachusets, in 1634. Delicate in childhood, he spent much of his time indoors with his mother, who encouraged his interest in literature, particularly poetry, and in composition. Shortly after her death, in his eleventh year, he went to live with his grandmother Goodell in Pomfret, Connecticut.
Education
Goodell attended the common school, working on the farm, and enjoying the use of two large libraries. Important in his intellectual and moral development was the influence of his grandmother, a strong-minded woman with advanced ideas on some of the social evils of her day. William hoped for a college education, but was disappointed.
Career
At eighteen, Goodell's health much improved, he entered the employ of a mercantile firm in Providence, Rhode Island.
On January 1817, he sailed as supercargo in a ship bound for East Indian, Chinese, and European markets. Returning to the United States in 1819, he reentered business in Providence, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Alexandria, Virginia.
Upon the failure of his commercial venture in Alexandria, he found employment in New York City where he was active in promoting the Mercantile Library Association, of which he became a director in 1827.
In that year, he gave up business and removed to Providence to become editor of a reform weekly, the Investigator and General Intelligencer, which soon drifted into temperance reform. In 1829 this paper became connected with the National Philanthropist of Boston and in 1830 was removed to New York, where, as the Genius of Temperance, it continued to assail various evils.
To arouse interest and gain subscriptions, Goodell was frequently forced into the lecture field. During these same years he also published the Female Advocate to further the movement for the moral reform of unfortunate women, as well as the Youth's Temperance Lecturer, one of the earliest temperance papers for children.
In 1833, he helped to organize the American Anti-Slavery Society and began to publish the Emancipator, in the name of C. W. Denison. In 1834, the paper, appearing under Goodell’s name, became the Society’s organ.
The same year (1836), he took charge of an anti-slavery paper in Utica, New York, the Friend of Man, which he edited for six years in Utica and Whitesboro. Here he also published for a year the monthly Anti-Slavery Lecturer and began (1842) the Christian Investigator. Meantime, he lectured widely and, in 1840, helped organize the Liberty Party.
In 1854, he settled in New York to edit the American Jubilee, later the Radical Abolitionist, which, enlarged and published as the weekly Principia, continued until abolition was effected.
Following the war, he wrote for reform and religious papers, and occasionally preached.
In 1870, he removed to Janesville, Wisconsin, to be near his two daughters, and there he passed the remaining years of his life, retaining to the end an active interest in religion and reform.
Achievements
William Goodell has been listed as a noteworthy reformer by Marquis Who's Who.

Religion
In 1843, Goodell was induced to set up in Honeoye, New York, his ideal church, based upon temperance, anti-slavery, and church union principles.
Politics
In 1836, Goodell spoke effectively before the Massachusetts legislature in behalf of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society and against the appeal of certain Southern states for legislation restraining the anti-slavery agitators.
In 1847, feeling that the Liberty Party’s program of opposition to slavery was too narrow, he left that party to found the Liberty League, which, with a platform of opposition to slavery, tariffs, land monoply, the liquor traffic, war, and secret societies, nominated Gerrit Smith for president.
Unlike Garrison, Goodell thought it possible under the Constitution to do away with slavery and was a believer in both the Constitution and the Union.
In 1869, he was among the organizers of the National Prohibition Party.
Membership
Mercantile Library Association;
American Anti-Slavery Society;
National Prohibition Party.
Personality
Goodell entered the ministry without seeking or desiring formal ordination, and was very successful, being “a man of tender and exquisitely sympathetic nature. ”
Connections
On July 4, 1823, Goodell married Clarissa C. Cady, daughter of Josiah Cady of Providence.
