(Estelle) Roberts, of Amherst, Texas, and Mrs. Bill (Hazel Mae) Atkins of Richland, California; and 15 grandchildren. One daughter, Leilar, died in 1942.
The information given below was added by a family member at a later date.
Jacie Goodwin was born in Water Valley, Mississippi on February 9, 1872. His parents were Jacob Goodwin and Louise Addington. His parents died by the time he was 9 years old so he lived with an older brother’s family until the age of 13. At that time, he struck out to make his own way in the world. The westward movement was underway so Jacie started walking west.
Jacie was a skilled carpenter so he made his way west by doing carpentry work, and by helping farmers plow their fields.
Around 1903, Jacie ended up in Davidson, Oklahoma where he got a job putting shingles on the house of Jacob Hammond Barnett and his wife Elizabeth Shirley Barnett. It was there that Jacie met Belle Barnett, one of the Barnett’s four daughters.
After a brief courtship, they eloped and were married in Davidson on December 11, 1904. The couple would eventually have ten children, Crystal, (b. 1905 in Davidson), Leilar, (b.1907 in New Mexico), Myrtle, (b.1908 in New Mexico) Jack, Marvin, Helena, Virgil, Estelle, Hazel Mae, and Woodrow.
The Goodwin family left Davidson in 1906 to homestead a claim in Elida, New Mexico. When the five years of homesteading was up, they sold the New Mexico farm and moved back to Oklahoma where they rented a farm about four miles north of Manitou. They lived in a one room house with a shed attached. Two sons, Jack (b. 1911) and Marvin, (b. 1914), were born while they lived on this farm.
In about 1915 or 1916, Jacie and Belle bought their own farm located one mile north and one mile west of Manitou. Their new home became known as the “ole homeplace.” This is the farm where the ten Goodwin children grew up together. Five of their children, Helena, (b.1916), Virgil, (b.1918), Estelle, (b.1919), Hazel Mae, (b.1922), and Woodrow, (b.1924) were born while they lived there and all of them were born at home.
Jacie and Belle lived on their Manitou farm until 1946 when they retired and moved to Frederick. While living in Frederick, they celebrated their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary in 1954, one year before Jacie’s death.
