1883 History of Henry and St. Clair Counties Missouri:

William Goforth, carpenter, architect and builder, and patentee of the celebrated window frame and sash cord fastener, and other valuable articles, was born in Fulton County, Illinois, April 8, 1836. His father, Rev. John Goforth, of the Baptist Church, in Fulton County, was born in North Carolina, and married Miss Rhoda Powell, a native of Tennessee. In 1857, the family moved to Bremer County, Iowa. In 1853, William commenced to learn his trade, in which he has became very proficient. In 1857, he came to Missouri, and settled in the southeastern part of Henry County, and started a small store, but after a time he sold out and went to Osceola, St. Clair County, opening a shop and engaging in building. In August, 1862, he enlisted in the Confederate army and remained until the close of the war. Commencing at the battle of Lone Jack he saw very hard service all through the war, being for the most of the time in General Parson's command. In 1865, he came to Windsor, where he has been occupied in building and maturing several useful patents. In 1874, he patented a serviceable chair, which is coming into general use. He also patented a useful wind engine, and a bed spring and a washer. His window frame and sash cord fastener is being used a great deal, and he anticipates making several other important improvements. He married Miss Susan C. Moran December 28, 1858. She died February 13, 1877, leaving three children: Lenora Elenor, Minnie Gray, and Eva Willistena, who died when three years old. One died in infancy. October 30, 1879, he married Miss Christina V. Henry, daughter of George Henry, of English parentage, and Hannah (Hughes) Henry, both of whom were natives of Ohio. By this union they have one child, Carlass. Mr. G. in his political views is a Democrat. He is a member of the Baptist Church, and also belongs to the Masonic lodge. He has been the architect and builder of some of the finest residences and buildings in the town and county.
