    • 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.

The family tells how my dad who was the baby of the family was taken to the beet fields in a wagon. Everyone took turns taking care of him. My dad tells how his mom would reinforce his pants at the knees because they crawled on their knees to pick. He started picking beets as soon as he was able to. As an adult, one of my dad's last jobs was working for Holly Sugar coating their experimental beet seeds. But as a young boy and man, his family ranched before my dad went into the service."

      Kenneth Goodman Obituary

      August 22, 2007 12:00 am
      SHERIDAN - Visitation for Kenneth Goodman, 76, will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, 2007, at Champion Ferries Funeral Home.

      He died Aug. 19, 2007, at Sheridan Manor.

      He was born Jan. 28, 1931, in Billings, Mont., to Adam and Anna (Kukes) Goodman.

      He moved with his family to the Sheridan area when he was 2 and the family farmed at Big Horn and Ucross.

      He married Jeanne McKinney on Sept. 15, 1951, in Sheridan.

      He joined the Marines in October 1951 and served in Korea. He was honorably discharged in 1953 with the rank of corporal.

      He returned to Sheridan and farmed on Lower Prairie Dog for eight years and then went to work for Germaine's for 15 years. He went to work at the Sheridan VA Center, retiring as a pipefitter in 1992. He then became a ditch-rider for Gerdle Ditch, retiring in 2002.

      He enjoyed hunting and fishing, watching his grandchildren play sports and time spent with his family.

      Survivors include three sons, Casey Goodman and his wife of Sheridan, Karl Goodman of Story and Willis Goodman of Caledonia, Mich.; one daughter, Tannya Goodman of Sheridan; one brother, Robert Goodman of Sheridan; one sister, Sadie Robinson (should be Robertson) of Sheridan; three grandchildren, one great-grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews.

      Arrangements are with Champion Ferries Funeral Home.

      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.
