James Eugene Goodman, son of James Augustus and Clarissa Goodman, was born at Dover, Mo., December 15, 1884. He spent the early years of his life on the farm. He attended Barnes Medical College in St. Louis and graduated in 1911. He practiced in Louisiana, Mo., for a year and came to Pleasant Hill in 1912, where he and Dr. Russell P.

When he first came to Pleasant Hill he traveled muddy and frozen roads on horseback, by buggy and two wheeled cart to treat the sick. No night was too cold or too bad, no roads too muddy to hinder him in the duty of his chosen profession. He answered all calls night or day. Dr. Goodman's patients at the time of his death included three generations in many families of this community. His kind and sympathetic counsel and advice will long be remembered by his numerous friends and patients. He had always taken a prominent part in the civic activities of Pleasant Hill and community.
