    Aunt Sadie wrote this poem for all her family and friends to be passed along at the time of her death.

    FOR MY FAMILY
    Do not weep for me, all you who have loved me
    do not bind me with the bonds of your love;
    do not build a prison of walls all around me
    denying the view of the heavens above.
    But grant me the ecstasy of soaring flight
    the freedom to fly where the great eagle soars;
    and grant me vision of my gift of sight
    to follow the gull to my own waiting shores.
    To be free as the wind in the mountain's great canyons
    kissing the snows and the meadows of spring;
    to sing with the lark after each April shower.
    Bursting with love for Creation that sings;
    But look for me when the first crocus is blooming
    hear me when sighing up high in the trees;
    and know that I love you the more for the leaving
    to drift on the wind with the last autumn leaves;
    And look for me when all Creation is greening
    look for me where the wood violet grows;
    and know in your hearts that I'll always be with you
    keep in your hearts the Great Secret that knows.
    Sadie Robertson

    SHERIDAN PRESS ARTICLE
    Saturday, February 1, 2014
    By Lois Bell
    Sheridan Senior Center

    PIONEER DAUGHTERS SHARE POETRY, ART

    UNDER PHOTO: Jean Harm, left, illustrated the cover to a book of poetry written by 95-year-old Sadie Robertson. Robertson had approached Harm to design the cover of her latest book of her poetry she had printed in October 2013. The illustration and poems draw on the women’s connection to the outdoors. Both Harm and Robertson are descendents of pioneers who settled in Sheridan County in the later part of the 19th century.

    SHERIDAN - She was in her 50s when the poetic muse touched her. Now 95 years old, Sadie Robertson continues to see the world through the eyes of a poet. She published her fourth book of poems in October 2013.

    “I write from what I’ve seen and from what I think I’ve learned from what I’ve seen,” Robertson said.

    Her inspiration draws often from her experiencing the outdoors. Her Volga German ancestors from Russia connected to the earth when they began farming in Sheridan county in the later part of the 19th century.

    “My grandfather, John Goodman, farmed in the area south of Sheridan College,” Robertson said.

    Grandfather John may have been Robertson’s inspiration for her poem she titled “The Poet.”
    “His gnarled old hands long to hold a
    pen to move over a smooth, white paper;
    but farming is all he has ever known;”

    Robertson’s father also was connected to the outdoors. He worked on ranches and farms in the countryside surrounding Billings. After the Great Depression and the Billings flood of 1937, her father moved back to Sheridan County where he had grown up. He worked on several farms and eventually bought the Pony Track Ranch on Lower Prairie Dog Creek. The place became known as the Goodman ranch and he operated it under his own brand.

    Robertson, then Sadie Goodman, had already married a Montana cowboy and stayed in the Billings area. She divorced and moved to Sheridan. Later she met and married Angus Robertson, an immigrant from Canada who led exploration crews looking for oil in the area. His career kept the Robertsons on the move and again connected to the outdoors. It was while they were living in Casper when Sadie began writing her first poems.

    “My first collection was called “A Far-Away Country of Apples.” It’s in the Library of Congress. Tom Mercer illustrated the cover and encouraged me to publish it for sale,” Robertson said.

    She did but did not like the experience of selling her poetry. “I don’t feel right selling my poetry, they are the deepest part of me. I only want to share them with people who know me or who I would like to know me,” she said.

    Robertson wrote and printed her latest collection of poems in October 2013 in her book titled “Under a Western Sky” to share with those people.
    She approached one of those special people, Jean Harm, to illustrate the cover.

    Harm and Robertson share a common bond as descendents of pioneer families to Sheridan County. Harm, born Jean Wilkes, is the daughter of Sheridan pioneers. Her lineage is rooted with great-great grandparents who settled in the 1880s in the Parkman Five Mile Flats area.

    Harm, who was kitchen manager of the dining room at Heritage Towers where Robertson lunched, would illustrate the daily menus. Robertson enjoyed Harm’s drawings.

    “It was always a delightful little menu board. I always liked to see what (Jean) had done,” Robertson said.

    “She (Robertson) told me she was doing one last book and wanted something on the cover that depicted Wyoming skies,” Harm said. “I told her I would do it for the fun of it.”

    Harm, like Robertson, drew her inspiration from the outdoors. She went to her
    family cabin in the Bighorns to draw in her sketch book. She drew three illustrations in color pencil before settling on the one she felt was the right one for Sadie’s very last book.

    Robertson printed 35 copies of her new book locally. She did not sell “Under A Western Sky” reserving it to give as a gift to friends. Robertson retains a passion for the printed word.

    “There’s nothing like holding a book in your hand,” Robertson said.
    “Of the gifts offered here
    if there is one that touches
    a special moment in your lives,
    then this effort has been successful.”
    - Preface to “A Far-Away Country of Apples"

    ***************
    NOTE: Lucille is Pauline's daughter - Pauline is the youngest daughter of John Goodman. Norma was married to Robert - Sadie's brother. My Dad was a brother to Sadie as well and George is another brother to Sadie. Hank was a son of John Goodman and half-brother to Sadie's dad, Adam.

    [Aunt Sadie was only 94 years old not 95 as stated in the article. She was born in 1919.]

    [I spoke with Aunt Norma, Lucille, and Mom - as well as - my memories from Dad. Uncle Hank {Sadie's uncle - John's son} farmed beets where the Sheridan College Ag Center is now. Per Lucille: she remembers visiting Uncle Hank when they lived on the road they now call the Woodland Park Road. Uncle George {Sadie's brother} rented the little house that sat across the road from where the college is now - (still there - very run down) with Aunt Guyla and daughter, Pat. I remember my Dad telling about that lone tree out front of the house. How a bunch of cattle gathered around that tree during a lightening storm. Lightening struck the tree and killed about 30 head. Lucille said that Grampa John Goodman and his wife, Anna, lived with her mom and dad (Shorty and Pauline Schuman) but they lived south of the "Y" out by where the big brown barn is - where the Powder Horn is now. That was the first year they were married. Shorty worked for the railroad and Aunt Pauline {Sadie's dad's sister} at the laundry in Sheridan.]

    [Aunt Norma said in reference to the article Grampa Adam Goodman did not work for others here. He leased the Irwin place then Minnie Martin's place. Both out by Big Horn.]

    [Aunt Norma said Uncle Bob remembered his Grampa as always on the screened in porch laying down with a fly swatter in his hand and that he didn't have much to do with the kids. My Dad remembers an old man at Aunt Pauline's but he didn't know he was his Grampa. (My dad was about three at the time.)]

    [Aunt Pauline was in the hospital having Lucille in 1934 when Grampa John Goodman died. My dad was 3 years old, Uncle Bob 5 years old.]

    [Sadie was married to Bill Wegner the Montana Cowboy in the story.]

    {Side Note}
    [I don't know if my Dad, Kenneth, remembers his maternal grandparents (Kukes). He was very young (just turned 4) when Gramma Goodman took him on the train to Washington when her dad died. At that time, the trains were only for service men and their families. In order to get back for her father's funeral, one of the service men offered to claim she was his mother to be able to ride the train to get back to the state of Washington. Gramma Goodman told me that Dad cried all the time because he was homesick, so she cut her trip short.]

    NOTE:
    Sadie wrote: "When I was younger I did quite a lot of publishing in magazines and quarterlies, and two booklets are registered with the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and these two are also in the Wyoming Room of our local library, the Wyoming Room being where articles and books of historical interest to the area are located."

    Side note: She told me that when she was married to Agnus and living in Casper, she had an article published in the Denver Post - it was her first published article. When she was about ten, she entered a writing contest in Billings, Montana, and won. The prize was a baby doll. She was so mad. She hated dolls. She had, at that time, six younger brothers and sisters she helped to take care of. Her dad went out and bought her a gift (I cannot remember what now).

    Obituary:
    Note:
    There was none. I wrote this in her guest book page:
    "Wanted to record this information here as there is to be no obituary or funeral. Sadie (Goodman) Robertson was born on December 17, 1919, in Billings, Montana, to Adam and Anna (Kukes) Goodman. The oldest of 8 children. She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings: George, Louis (Stub), Howard (Swede), Virgil (Son), Virginia (Sis), Robert (Bob), and Kenneth (Babe). She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, 3 sister-in-laws: Jeanne, Norma (Bob), and Ardell, and several cousins. Sadie passed away on August 17, 2014. She will be missed."

    Sadie married Wilhelm {Bill} Wegner, Jr on 23 Jan 1938 in Billings, Yellowstone, Montana, USA. Wilhelm (son of Wilhelm Wegner, Sr and Dorothy Smith) was born about 1915 in Montana, USA; died on 3 Dec 1982. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Notes from Tannya Goodman:
    Adam Goodman died June 5, 1972, at Phoenix General, Phoenix, Arizona. I called our library and had them check his obituary that ran in the Sheridan Press on June 6, 1972.
    Also, Grampa and Gramma lived in Mesa, Arizona at time of his death. And one time they lived in Apache Junction, Arizona. Information from my Aunt Norma (Bob's) Goodman.

    Aunt Pauline wrote in a handwritten text (1) - the copy is written in her words without spelling or grammar changes and also for the Sheridan County Heritage Book (2) the following explanations for why they came to the United States from Russia. I have added capitalized names in [ ]s to show who came and who stayed.

    (1) - "As I remember in April 1907 we landed in Brooklyn, New York Island, from Brunnental, Saratov, Russia, my father and mother [ANNA WOITH - Johannes third wife] and three half brothers [JACOB, ADAM, GEORGE] and my real brother (baby) [ADOLPH] who had been real sick on the ship and turned out to be measles. So my baby brother and mother were quaranteened for 30 days. But my father bribed a German Jew interpreter to smuggle us out into a train, because I also was very ill with a absessed throat. My father was afraid we'd be hold up there for thirty days too and he had no money left after the train fair to Vici, Oklahoma where we were to go to Dad's Uncle Henry Zeiler, who had a small grain farm, my oldest brother [JACOB] was 21 years old and was drafted into the Russian Army thats why my father decided to come to the United States, but didn't have enough money to bring all the kids so my sister Mary 11 years and three half brothers [JOHN, FRED, HENRY] stayed behind at our Grandpa Goodman's [JOHANN FRIEDRICH GUTMANN] home whom he sent for a year later with money scraped together working on ranches around the neighbors. 30 days later my poor mother came as my little brother had died and was buried at sea off Brooklyn Island." [She doesn't mention ELISABETH.]

    (2) - "The year I was three, my brother Jake was drafted into the Russian Army. Dad did not want him to go because they treated them terrible, so he had his Uncle Henry Zeiler in Oklahoma send the money to move to America. We did not have enough money for the whole family to come over so they brought five of us kids. We landed in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1907. My baby brother, Adolph, was real sick when we arrived and Mother had to stay there with him. He died from the measles and was buried at sea off of Brooklyn Island. We went to Vici, Oklahoma and Dad worked on grain farms for a living, which was very poor living. We went to bed hungry many times. After a year in the United States, Dad had enough money for the rest of the kids to join us."

    Notes:

    Tannya Goodman: I notice you have Gramma listed as Anna Margaret. I see that on the crossing manifest there were two Annas listed under Conrad. One was Anna Margaret age 14 and Anna age 3. Gramma always said she was two when she came to America. She was born in 1898, they crossed in 1902 so she must be the 3 year old. MY FAMILY, all through the years, aunts, my mom, etc. were told Gramma had no middle name. In fact, she told us that if she had ever had a middle name she would choose Barbara. My Aunt Sadie when they did her obit had the B. added and then notated Barbara on some of the documents. [Families make Genealogy hard].

    NOW I'm wondering if the Anna Margaret is Katharina Margaret. Age would be right. She was Conrad's daughter as well per this posting on Kukes Family from Kukuus, Russia Facebook page. Posted by Wladimir Kukus: "Lesley Yates your grandfather, Henry, had another 3 sisters called: 1. Emma Kukus 1886, 2. Katharina Margaret 1887, 3. Elisabeth Kukus born 1892 - died 1895." Posted: October 20, 2013 at 5:43am. Note: Waldimir lives in Germany. I know Emma married a Becker. My Grandmother always mentioned a sister dying before she was born. This fits in time frame. And age is right on Katherina Margaret for the Anna Margaret - 14 years old in crossing manifest.

    Story:
    Anna (Kukes) Goodman [Adam]

    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 wad moving the family to Washington the next day and she wanted to stay with Grampa.


    Buried:
    Sheridan Municipal Cemetery

    Notes:

    Married:
    Per Tannya Goodman-
    One thing about the marriage certificate for Anna and Adam, that my mom told me, Grampa lied about his age. Anna could marry at 18, but the men were suppose to be 21. He was only 20. He was born at beginning of 1898, she at end of 1898.

    NOTE: Aunt Pauline wrote in a handwritten text (1) - the copy is written in her words without spelling or grammar changes and also for the Sheridan County Heritage Book (2) the following explanations for why they came to the United States from Russia. I have added capitalized names in [ ]s to show who came and who stayed.

    (1) - "As I remember in April 1907 we landed in Brooklyn, New York Island, from Brunnental, Saratov, Russia, my father and mother [ANNA WOITH - Johannes third wife] and three half brothers [JACOB, ADAM, GEORGE] and my real brother (baby) [ADOLPH] who had been real sick on the ship and turned out to be measles. So my baby brother and mother were quaranteened for 30 days. But my father bribed a German Jew interpreter to smuggle us out into a train, because I also was very ill with a absessed throat. My father was afraid we'd be hold up there for thirty days too and he had no money left after the train fair to Vici, Oklahoma where we were to go to Dad's Uncle Henry Zeiler, who had a small grain farm, my oldest brother [JACOB] was 21 years old and was drafted into the Russian Army thats why my father decided to come to the United States, but didn't have enough money to bring all the kids so my sister Mary 11 years and three half brothers [JOHN, FRED, HENRY] stayed behind at our Grandpa Goodman's [JOHANN FRIEDRICH GUTMANN] home whom he sent for a year later with money scraped together working on ranches around the neighbors. 30 days later my poor mother came as my little brother had died and was buried at sea off Brooklyn Island." [She doesn't mention ELISABETH.]

    (2) - "The year I was three, my brother Jake was drafted into the Russian Army. Dad did not want him to go because they treated them terrible, so he had his Uncle Henry Zeiler in Oklahoma send the money to move to America. We did not have enough money for the whole family to come over so they brought five of us kids. We landed in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1907. My baby brother, Adolph, was real sick when we arrived and Mother had to stay there with him. He died from the measles and was buried at sea off of Brooklyn Island. We went to Vici, Oklahoma and Dad worked on grain farms for a living, which was very poor living. We went to bed hungry many times. After a year in the United States, Dad had enough money for the rest of the kids to join us."

  3. 12.  Johann Heinrich Kukkus was born on 18 Apr 1821 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (son of Konrad Kukkus); died on 6 Mar 1900 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia.

    Other Events:

    • Name: Heinrich Kukkus

    • Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH62
    • Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH71

    Notes:

    1886 Kukkus Family List has Heinrich as the 'Son of Heinrich', however the 1850,1857 and 1834 census show him as the son of Konrad. Also we have no record of a Heinrich Kukkus of an appropriate age to be his father.

    Johann married Katharina Elisabeth Isheim. Katharina (daughter of Konrad Isheim and Maria Magdelena Baum) was born in 1832 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia; died on 13 Mar 1895 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 13.  Katharina Elisabeth Isheim was born in 1832 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (daughter of Konrad Isheim and Maria Magdelena Baum); died on 13 Mar 1895 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia.

    • Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH71

    Notes:

    The Katherine Elisabeth Isheim born 1832 on the 1834 Kukkus Census almost certainly has to be the same person as the Katherine Elisabeth Isheim born 1832 on the 1857 Census married to Johann Heinrich Kukkus. Isheim is not a common name in the Volga colonies. In fact there are no Isheims other than the Kukkus Isheims found on the original first settler lists or found in any of the 1798 census lists for the colonies.
