Killed at the battle of Antietam. Son of Samuel Lawrence Gould & Frances Ann Shelton. He was a private in the 13th Massachusetts Volunteers.
From "The Gazette on September 28, 1862
Among the fallen at the battle of Antietam was Samuel Shelton Gould, of the Senior Class, Harvard College, a young man of fine promise. Some three weeks since we heard him address a meeting at the Meionaon, and a more earnest appeal we never listened to. He addressed himself particularly to the more respectable young men, who were holding back from enlistment, he feared, on the ground of not wanting to mingle with the common classes, saying, that if such were their motives, "they were not fit to have their names borne on that immortal roll of honor, the list of killed and wounded. Impatient for service, he would not wait to join a new regiment, and in two weeks after joining the Thirteenth, his name took its place in the situation he coveted."
