Prominent members
Charles W. Goodyear
Frank H. Goodyear
Frank, the younger 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; his paternal uncle, George J. Sicard, was a partner of Cleveland, Bissell & Sicard, and later of Goodyear's firm of Bissell, Sicard & Goodyear. George Sicard attended Yale University, entering with the class of 1894, and leaving at the end of his freshman year to attend the University of the State of New York, where he received his LL.B. in 1895. He moved 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. Soon afterward Sicard, who purportedly did not get along well with his father-in-law Frank Goodyear, resigned from the Goodyear companies and moved to Pelham Manor for the last 30 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. 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 Knoxes lived in Buffalo and East Aurora. They had a winter cottage on Jekyll Island, Georgia. After Frank Jr. died in 1930, his widow Dorothy Knox Goodyear later married Edmund Pendleton Rogers (1882–1966) in 1931.
- Frank Jr.'s son, Frank Henry Goodyear, III, was known as "Frank Goodyear, Sr." He graduated from 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]
- Daughter Dorothy Knox Goodyearf[4] attended the Foxcroft School and made her debut on Long Island and at Buffalo in 1935. She married Clinton Randolph Wyckoff Jr., of Buffalo, in 1937.[5]
- Daughter Marjorie Goodyear married a Mr. Wilson. She died sometime before September 2015.[4]
- Son Robert Millard Goodyear was born in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from the Groton School 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. Robert was a member of the Skull and Bones secret society and a pitcher/right fielder on the Yale baseball team, playing for Yale in the College World Series in 1947 and 1948. Also on the baseball team was his good friend, George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States of America. Robert moved to Aiken, South Carolina, in 1951. There he purchased Longleaf Plantation with his brother, Frank, and developed a successful Aberdeen Angus cattle breeding operation. Robert was an avid golfer and a long-time member of the Augusta National. In addition to golf, he was a skilled court tennis player and served as president of the Aiken Tennis Club. He lived in Aiken until his death.[6]
