Isophene Goodin Bailhache
Isophene Planteau Goodin Bailhache (19 November 1863-15 January 1941) was a San Francisco socialite and the National Vice-Chairman of Historic Spots of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Biography[edit]
Isophene Planteau Goodin was born on 19 November 1863 in St. Louis, Missouri.[1][2] She was daughter of William Henry Goodin and Aurelia "Rilla" Craig. Bailhache was a direct descendant of Major General Israel Putnam.[3] Her father was a merchant who did business in both St. Louis and Cincinnati, but both of her parents died by the time Goodin was 15[4][5] and she was raised by her uncle Samuel Goodin along with her younger sister Hattie, in St. Louis.[6] She attended Grace P. Jones' school in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin in 1880[7] and married John Mason Bailhache in 1891.[3][8]
The couple moved to California by 1892, where their first son, John was born that same year.[9] (John and Isophene were the first owners of their residence, which in 1900 was the birthplace of Adlai Stevenson II.[10] The house, now part of the North University Park Historic District, has been designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[11]) Their second son Preston was born in California in 1895.[8] Bailhache was a charter member of Past State Officers' Club, the English-Speaking Union, the Western Women's Club and the Presidents Assembly. She was very active in Daughters of the American Revolution and served as National Vice-Chairman of Historic Spots, as a State Officer and as a Chapter Regent.[3] This Historic Spots Committee, now known as the DAR Historic Sites and Properties Committee, was the first organization in the United States to catalogue, acquire and protect national monuments and significant historical sites.[12] Bailhache was the first person to decorate the Liberty Bell with a wreath in recognition of it being a national shrine.[13]
Bailhache was a prominent member of San Francisco society, being listed in the social register[14][15] and often served as hostess for events of various civic organizations from the 1910s until her death.[16][17][18][19] Bailhache was very interested in preserving history and was a member of the California Genealogical Society and Library.[3] When her family's history was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, she compiled a replacement to honor her grandmother Amanda Elias Goodin, whose portrait by James P. Smith is preserved in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[20][21]
