Additional info from Tannya Goodman:

NOTE: My brother submitted obituary.

Dad was only on Lower Prairie Dog for 4 years after service.
Also you will note between Robert's (my dad's brother's) obituary and your residence information, my Dad was older than two when they moved here.

Before he worked for Germain's, he worked at Hammer's Chevrolet garage and Northern Seed Company fir several years.

He also loved to read.

Sadie's last name is Robertson not Robinson.

Taped by her granddaughter, Tannya, and typed exactly as she told the story.

My forefathers - you see when Catherine the Great got married, she married a Russian Czar and she promised him she'd take a few of her families over there, you know, settle them there. Where my folks were settled, they used their name for their little town, so it was Kukkes - Kukes we spell it over here. 2-1/2 years old when we come over to the United States.

Married in 1918. It was April Fool's Day. We went to the Courthouse, got married by the Justice of the Peace.

Dances in the kitchen or the bunkerhouse or any place. We didn't have any barn, you know, and things like that.

In '39, the spring of '39, we moved over from Billings to Wyoming. Moved out to Big Horn.

In Portland, Oregon, George had the real small pox. We was under quarantine then. I don't know long. Grampa and Henry Kerbel had to room out. They couldn't come in, you know. We had a sign up. So we had their clothes ready and hand them out to them and they had to find a place to stay.

Side note: Gramma loved to dance. She was popular and it used to make Grampa jealous. They ended up marrying on April 1st because her father was moving the family to Washington the next day and she wanted to stay with Grampa.
