This house was built (c. 1885) for J.C. Goodale’s family, with select lumber from the mill he operated in Coburg which he eventually sold to Booth-Kelly in 1899. On March 1, 1903, Doctor Milton Emerson Jarnigan from Tennessee moved into the house. Jarnigan was a true country doctor serving Coburg and the surrounding area faithfully using one of the area’s first motor cars, purchased in 1914. Dr. Jarnigan built an office and apothecary (operated by his brother Lee) on Willamette Street near the Hotel Meda in 1903. The doctor served as Coburg mayor from 1914-1916.
