Frank H. Goodyear

Frank, the brother of Charles W. Goodyear, married Josephine and together they had four children: (1) Grace Goodyear, who married Ganson Depew in 1894. Depew, was the nephew of Chauncey Depew, President of New York Central and United States Senator from New York from 1900-1911. Ganson was admitted to the bar in 1887, but stopped practicing law to work for his father-in-law and became Manager of Goodyear Lumber Co., Vice-President of Buffalo and Susquehanna Coal, and assistant to the President of the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad.[2] (2) Josephine Goodyear, who married George Montgomery Sicard in 1900. Sicard, came from Utica, New York and his uncle, George J. Sicard, was a partner of Cleveland, Bissell & Sicard, and later of Goodyear's firm of Bissell, Sicard & Goodyear. George Sicard attended Utica Academy, graduated from Yale University in 1894 and received his law degree from New York University in 1895. Thereafter, he came to Buffalo where he began practice with Moot, Sprague & Brownell. After his marriage to Josephine, he went to work for the Goodyear companies. Josephine died in 1904 and soon afterwards Sicard, who purportedly did not get along with his Frank well, resigned from the Goodyear companies and moved to Pelham Manor where he lived the last thirty years of his life.[2] (3) Florence Goodyear, who married George Olds Wagner in 1902 in Buffalo. Florence attended the now defunct Saint Margaret's School, Buffalo and finishing school in New York City. George Olds Wagner was a graduate of Cornell University.[2] (4) Frank Henry Goodyear, Jr., who married Dorothy Knox. Dorothy was the daughter of Seymour and Grace Knox. Knox was known for forming the F. W. Woolworth Company with his cousin Frank Winfield Woolworth and held prominent positions in the Marine Trust Co. The Knox's lived in Buffalo and East Aurora and had a winter cottage on Jekyll Island, Georgia. Frank Jr. died in 1930 and Dorothy Knox later married Mr. Edmund Pendleton Rogers (1882-1966) in 1931. Frank Jr.'s son, Frank Henry Goodyear, III, was known as "Frank Goodyear, Sr." He graduated from Groton and Yale University, in 1941, and served at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War II. He founded the Environmental Research Institute, an environmental organization involved in research on the grizzly bear population in Yellowstone Park.[3] Frank Jr.'s daughter, Dorothy Knox Goodyear Wyckoff[4] She attended the Foxcroft School made her debut on Long Island and at Buffalo in 1935, and married Clinton Randolph Wyckoff Jr., of Buffalo, in 1937.[5] Her sister was Marjorie Goodyear Wilson died sometime before September 2015.[4] Their brother, Robert Millard Goodyear, also graduated from Groton, and served as a navigator with the Eighth Air Force in the World War II. After the war he attended Yale University, graduating in 1949. He was a pitcher and right fielder on the Yale baseball team and played for Yale in the College World Series in 1947 and 1948 with his good friend, George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States of America.
