O. F. Goddard (January 20, 1853 – September 25, 1943) was a justice of the Montana Supreme Court from 1938 to 1939.
Born in Troy, Iowa, Goddard attended the Troy Academy, and then read law under the supervision of his uncle, a local judge.[1] Initially named Fletcher Goddard, he added the "O." himself because "he wanted another initial, so more or less at random took O".[1]
Goddard entered the practice of law in Billings, Montana in 1883. He served in the Montana Senate, and was a district judge from October 1, 1924, to January 4, 1937, before being elected Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court. He retired in 1939.[2][1]
