Person:Allen Goodman (5)

Form Dave Bodine's web site as told by Mary Jane Goodman: Her father played the fiddle and her mother played the organ. Along with some neighbors who played the accordion and guitar, they used to play at line and square dances. Dad remembers one of the few times they went down to see the Goodmans in Butler County. (Without a vehicle, it wasn't easy to take a wagon all the way from Muhlenberg County.) Dad said that Roy could really call a good dance. The kids could square dance, but their mother wouldn't allow them to do the waltz or the fox trot. They also weren't allowed to play cards for quite awhile, but later on they could play rook and a few other card games. Garfield Goodman was also a great whittler. Many of the things he carved are still in the family. The first farmhouse that Grandma's parents ever owned is still standing today. It's about two miles north of Sand Springs Cemetery down a dirt road behind the church's old foundation. It's on a ridge above the Mud River. Hanging on Grandma's wall is a painting of this house when it was in much better condition
