THOMAS MONROE GOODMAN was born on April 11, 1885, in Ohio County, Kentucky;
the son of Thomas J. Goodman (b. August, 1850) and Sarah C. (Daugherty)
Goodman (b. September, 1844).  His parents had married on December 28, 1874,
on an Ohio County Marriage License and he was their third child.  He grew up
on a farm and followed the occupation of farming, after securing an
education from the schools at hand.
	On October 28, 1908, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Eva Evans, a young
widow, on an Ohio County Marriage License, with the ceremony being
performed by former pastor James Pendleton Taylor, the writer's
grandfather.  She was born on January 1, 1892, and was the daughter of
Reuben Evans.  The witnesses were Finas and Asa Evans.  They became the
parents of four daughters and two sons, all of whom survived him together
with their mother after his death, on December 1, 1958.  He died in Bowling
Green, Warren County, Kentucky, at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Rodney
Baxter, and was buried in the Green River Church Cemetery.  Mrs. Goodman
departed this life on February 22, 1975, and her body was laid to rest next
to that of her husband in the Green River Cemetery.
	Brother Goodman united with the Church by letter in October, 1909.  She
did the same on June 10, 1912.  They were lettered out for a time, on
November 10, 1934; but returned by letter, on April 13, 1941, and continued
in the Church until their respective deaths.  He had been a member about
forty-two years, while she had been a member about fifty-six years.  He was
ordained as a Deacon on August 4, 1920, at the same time with Brother John
Harrison Flener.  He served in the office for a total of thirty-two years. 
With the passing of Deacons John Harrison Flener and Thomas Monroe Goodman
in 1962 and 1958, respectively, the last of the Deacons ordained in the
early 1920's and since then up to 1961 were gone.
