[WESTERN AMERICANA - MINING]. Sixth plate daguerreotype of a possible gold miner identified as Lemuel L. Goodell.

Seated portrait of a young man with his long hair parted to one side, wearing a work shirt and jacket, and holding a felt slouch hat in his lap. His jaw appears clenched, contributing to the somewhat stern expression on his face. (Tarnishing to edges, minor spotting; reglazed, resealed 2022.) Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case with typed label affixed to upper edge reading, "Lemuel L. Goodell."

An obituary for L. L. Goodell in the 7 June 1901 issue of the Platteville Journal describes the deceased as being born in Syracuse, New York in 1828, and residing in Platteville for most of his life "with the exception of three years passed in California." Multiple federal censuses place Lemuel Goodell (sometimes "L. L. Goodell") in Platteville, Wisconsin, working as a druggist.
