Goodyear, Charles W., Buffalo, was born in Cortland, Cortland county, N.Y., October 15, 1846, and received his
education in the Cortland and Wyoming Academies. After leaving school he began the study of law in the office of
Lanning & Miller, and was admitted to the bar from that office at the June term of the Supreme Court held in
Buffalo in 1871. He immediately began the practice of his profession, in which he was engaged until January 1,
1887, when he formed a copartnership with his brother, F. H. Goodyear, under the firm name of F. H. & C. W.
Goodyear, in the lumber and railroad business. In 1885, in company with his brother, they built the Buffalo and
Susquehanna Railroad, of which Mr. Goodyear is vice-president and general manager. Mr. Goodyear was appointed assistant
district attorney of Erie county under Hon. Daniel M. Lockwood, and upon the resignation and election to Congress
of Mr. Lockwood, he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of the latter. In March, 1876, he was married to Ella
P. Conger, daughter of Anson G. Conger of Collins Center, Erie county, N. Y.
