Daniel Linn Gooch (October 28, 1853 – April 12, 1913) was a U.S. Representative from Kentucky and businessman.
Born in Rumsey, McLean County, Kentucky, Gooch attended a private school. After entering the pharmaceutical industry at the age of seventeen, he subsequently became president of a large wholesale drug and chemical company.
Gooch was elected as a Democrat to the 57th and 58th Congresses, between March 4, 1901, and March 3, 1905.[1]
According to the November 1903 Congressional Dictionary, Gooch "takes great interest in patriotic societies, one of his ancestors being a major-general and another a colonial governor; is deputy governor-general of the Society of Sons of Colonial Wars, and governor of the Order of Descendants of Colonial Governors".[1] He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1904, henceforth retiring from public life.
Gooch died in Covington, Kentucky, on April 12, 1913. He was interred in Woodlawn Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio.
