Notes for Eunice Clara HOLYOKE
• In 1920 Eunice is recorded as living with her mother in Brewer without any mention of her children.
• There is some discrepancy in the date of marriage to George GOODY ... State marriage records say that their marriage occurred on 19 Jul 1921. Yet, George Jr. and Eunice are recorded being born before their parents were married.
• State records also indicate that a Eunice C HOLYOKE married an Elmer R. Sutherland in 3 Jul 1914.
• Is it possible that Eunice 1st married Elmer R. SUTHERLAND in 1914, had her three children and then married George GOODY in 1921. At some point in time the children were adopted by their stepfather, hence changing their last name.

Notes for George William (Spouse 2)
• World War 1 Vet … US ARMY (1917 - 1918) … total service career was 1910 - 1920
Anecdotal submission by Jack Sherman:
• Entered the military (US Army) about 1910 at the age of 17. His father sign his enlistment papers since he was under age and his father was illeterate. When his dad figured out what he signed he beat the hell out of George for joining up. Apparently adventure held more charms than working in a pulp mill.
• He couldn't read or write in English, only French
• He served in the Mexican Punitive expedition in Troop I 6th Cav.
• Deployed to France in 1917, served as a dispatch rider on a motorcycle which is how he ended up in a transport unit.
• Severely injured in 1918 and eventually discharged in 1920 from Fort Dix, NJ.
• His first relatve to come to what is now the United States was Germain Doucet – https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Doucet-20 –. He came as a soldier for France in 1635 and built a fort at Castine Maine serving as the Captain General of Arcadia.
[Side note: there are also numerous records indicating that he was served as the “Captain at Arms at Fort Pentagoet with a high standing as d'Aulnay's "right-hand man" and chief armorer.”]
• Goody which is actually Gordet originally in French. Being French in Maine up until the 1970's wasn't easy. They were predominantly Catholic and there was a lot of animosity with the protestants who tended to own things and employ French Canadians as cheap disposable labor.
