Life and career
[edit]Gould was born in 1855 in Iowa and moved to California with his parents at the age of two, growing up in Santa Clara County. He attended the State Normal School in San Jose (now known as San Jose State University), and later studied law at Alabama State University before being admitted to the bar in California in 1887. Gould served as the county surveyor of Mariposa County before he was elected to the California State Assembly from the 67th district representing Merced and Mariposa counties. He was later redistricted to the 57th district after 1893. Between January and March of 1893, Gould served as Speaker of the Assembly. While in the Assembly, Gould was an ex-officio member of the Board of Regents of the University of California.[2][1]
Gould was later Chair of the California Democratic State Central Committee between 1894 and 1896 and was the director of Agnews State Hospital between 1894 and 1900. He also served on the State Building and Loan Commission between 1897 and 1901.[1][2]
