He died from the effects of an operation performed for strangulated hernia. He reached the age of 65 years, 4 months, and 14 days. Mr. Goodman was born in Germany. When he was four years of age, his parents removed to America and took up their residence in New Jersey. At the outbreak of the war, Mr. Goodman enlisted with a New Jersey regiment and saw hard service. At the close of the war, he came to Catasauqua. At first, he was in the hotel business, and after that, he was engaged in various enterprises until ten years ago, when he was appointed night watchman at the Catasauqua National Bank, where he has remained ever since. In politics, he was an ardent Democrat and an active Grand Army man, being a member of Fuller Post, No. 378. Besides his wife, the following children survive: Charles, Daniel, Edward, Lizzie, Carrie, Mamie, and Amanda, all residing at home.
