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.

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.

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.
