History of Todd County, Kentucky, ed. J. H. Battle, 1884, F. A. Battey Publishing Co., 1884, p. 295. [Elkton Precinct] DANIEL E. GOODMAN (deceased) was a native of Hart County, Ky., where he was born June 7, 1838. He came to Elkton, Todd Co., with his parents, John A. (deceased) and Sarah E. Goodman (deceased), when a boy, and he was here educated and grew to manhood. For many years his father kept the only hotel in the village of Elkton, the building now owned by Dr. J. L. Woollard, known as the Elkton Inn. Daniel E. was the eldest of a family of twelve children, born to these parents. In early life, Daniel began a mercantile career, in which he was quite successful, first as a grocer, but later in life engaged in the furniture trade. In 1876, he went to Louisville, Ky., to engage in business, but in consequence of lost health was compelled to abandon this, and he returned to Elkton where, on September 25, 1878, he died. Mr. Goodman was a worthy member of the I.O.O.F. and of the Christian Church, and was universally esteemed for his pure life. He was married in Logan County, Ky., March 9, 1859, to Miss Antha L. Posey, daughter of Anderson N. and Mary A. Posey (nee Barker). Her father, Anderson Posey, was born near Bowling Green, Warren Co., Ky., August 13, 1808. His life, which was characterized for noble deeds, was spent on the old homestead farm, and terminated January 18, 1867. Mrs. Goodman's mother was born near Richmond, Va., in 1808, and came to Kentucky in childhood, and is still living. She is the mother of seven children. Mrs. Goodman is the fifth of this family and was born August 12, 1840, and is at present a resident of Elkton. To Daniel E. and Anna L. Goodman were born eight children, viz.: Charlie B., born December 22, 1859; Kate L., born April 27, 1862, and married to J. G. Algea, of St. Louis, Mo., November 28, 1880; Wright T., born July 12, 1864; Posey, born December 4, 1866; Rosa, born February 22, 1870; Sallie E., born May 23, 1873; Lou-Raney, born February 13, 1875, and Max D., born July 13, 1877.
