Woodrow Goodwin (69053736)

Suggested edit: Woodrow Jacie Goodwin was the fourth son, and the tenth and last child born to Jacie and Belle Goodwin. Woodrow was born April 30, 1924, at the family farm home near Manitou, Oklahoma.

Woodrow attended Manitou High School and helped his dad with the farming. Woodrow married Velma Cecilia Mashburn on November 19, 1945 in the parsonage of the Manitou Baptist Church. Velma, the daughter of Cecil and Enid Mashburn, was born November 22, 1929 at Hollister, Oklahoma.

Woodrow and Velma had five sons. The first two were born in Oklahoma. The other three were born in Washington. Roger Elliott Goodwin, the oldest, was born December 1, 1947 at Frederick. Jacie Frank Goodwin was born April 24, 1951 at Altus. He died, after the family moved to Quincy, Washington, as a result of a traffic accident on April 24, 1994, his 43rd birthday.

Michael Lewis Goodwin was born January 27, 1953 at Ephrata, Washington. Mark Allen Goodwin was born December 18, 1955 in Soap Lake Washington, and David Lee Goodwin was born December 4, 1958 in Wenatchee, Washington.

After their marriage, Woodrow and Velma made their home with Woodrow's parents as Woodrow continued to farm his dad's farm. Around 1946, Woodrow bought his dad's farm and his parents moved to Frederick.

Around 1942, the government completed the Grand Coulee Dam near Quincy, Washington. Irrigation of former desert land was made possible by the newly constructed dam and the lake it formed, the Franklin D. Roosevelt lake. The FDR lake supplied enough water to enable farmers to buy small acreages and irrigate crops. Farmers were doing very well with their irrigated crops and their truck farming.

So, in1951 Woodrow and Velma sold the ole homeplace farm where the ten Goodwin children had grown up and moved to Quincy, Washington. Velma's parents sold their farm to Woodrow's brother, Marvin Goodwin, and moved to Quincy also.

By 1970, the Woodrow Goodwin family farmed 400 irrigated acres, all of which was taken out of sagebrush by them. In 1970 Woodrow was named the Quincy Valley Soil Conservation Farmer of the year. They raised pinto beans, alfalfa, corn, silage, radish seed, wheat, barley, oats, hay, carrots, sugar beets, and potatoes.

Woodrow, the youngest of the ten Goodwin children, died August 10, 1976 of a ruptured pancreas gland and pneumonia in a Wenatchee, Washington hospital. He was aged 52 years. He was preceded in death by his sister Leilar (1942); his dad Jacie (1955); his sister Myrtle (1956); his brother Jack (1960); and his mother Belle (1968). His sister and her husband, Crystal and Charlie Ochsner, and his two remaining brothers Marvin and Virgil Goodwin all attended his funeral.

Velma Goodwin died November 28, 1991 at the age of 63.
