"Jess M. Thompson's "Pike County history", compiled by Pike County Republican page 324: states "...Hardin Goodin and Rebecca Kinman were married by his uncle, justice Joseph Hardin Goodin. Their pioneer settlement was where the Goodin cemetery now is, on the bluffs above Honey Creek. Here, Hardin Goodin with his oxen, Buck and Bright and a huge bar-shear plow broke up the hazelbrush thickets that stood high as the oxen's backs."

Hardin Goodin and James Wallin were selected to the Pike County Grand Jury from Martinsburg, Nov 1860
Pike County Journal

"Elder Hardin Goodin preaches at the Christian church on the first Sunday in each month, when physically able, and the Rev. H. A. Branstetter, of New Harmony, Mo., on the third Saturday and Sunday."
Pike County Democrat, May 28, 1891

"Goodin - Elder Hardin Goodin has purchased from M. U.S. Thomas the Ward house in the Newberg annex, which he will make his place of residence shortly."
Pike County Democrat, Aug 27, 1891

"Last Thursday while at the residence of his son Mr. James T. Goodin in Martinsburg, Elder Hardin Goodin was crowded and thrown down by two horses he was leading into a stable and his right leg was broken a short distance below the thigh joint. He was placed upon a bed in a spring wagon and brought to his home in this city by his son, the latter's wife accompanying them. Surgical aid was summoned and the limb properly set. He suffered much pain at the out set but is gradually resting easier. His advanced age - some 85 or 86 if not more, is against a speedy recovery, but it is hoped that, being of good habits and a good constitution these will go far towards bringing him out all right as his many friends ardently wish."
Pike County Democrat, Oct 16, 1895

Monday was the 82nd birthday of Elder Hardin Goodin, who is suffering greatly from the broken leg of which we spoke last week, but is doing fully as well as can be expected."
From "Personal," Pike County Democrat, Oct 23, 1895

"Reports from Elder Hardin Goodin represent him as able to sit up and gradually recovering from the injury suffered from breaking his leg. This will be good news to his numerous friends."

"A VETERAN PIONEER
Writes Interestingly to a Pioneer Friend
J. M. BUSH, Sr., Pittsfield, Ill.
Dear Friend:- It having been some time since I was permitted to meet you, I thought I would write you a few lines that might interest some of your readers. Seventy years ago last October I came to this county with my parents, brothers and sisters from Saline Co., Mo. Sixty-nine years ago Levi and Susan Kinman brought here their family from Hendricks Co., Ind. Among them was Rebecca, with whom I was united in marriage March 15, 1835, at the old Highland school house by Joseph Goodin, J. P. To us were born seven children, one of whom died at the age of 12 years, and we now have twenty-four grand children and twenty-eight great grand children. There have been many incidents connected with that period - some of pleasure, some of pain. I have noted the progress of our great country, have rejoiced in the success of individuals, have dropped many a tear of sympathy for many in adversity and have seen many a clod fall on the coffin of many who were near and dear to me to whom I hope to meet on that better shore. It pains me greatly to look over our great country that we were once so proud to call 'the land of the free' and see the honest sons of toil so weighed down by taxation and oppression. It is needless to tell you that I have been a Jeffersonian democrat all my life and I trust that we may yet have statesman who will not sell their birthright for a mess of pottage. I close hoping you a prosperous journey through life.
Yours truly,
HARDIN GOODIN,
Of Martinsburg Township

The venerable Hardin Goodin, one of the early pioneers of Pike county passed away Monday at 1:30 a.m. at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Thos.

His wife, Rebecca, having preceded him in death a few years ago, he is survived by six children, three sons and three daughters, who are as follows: James T., William A., David B., Mrs. Will Cannon, Mrs. Martha Coley and Mrs. Emma Lee. The funeral took place today at the Goodin cemetery with Elder Will Cannon, of Lincoln, and Hon. C. E. Bolin, of Milton, officiating."

"He is the son of Robert Goodin, who was born in Kentucky, in the year 1793. He emigrated to Tennessee many years ago, and there married Miss Susan McClintock in 1819. He remained in Tennessee two years after his marriage, and then moved with his family to the territory of Missouri, where he lived until 1830. He then moved to Pike county, Illinois, and settled on section 11, in Martinsburg township, where he remained until his death, which occurred in the year 1863. He died as he had lived - a devoted Christian and a good citizen, beloved by all who knew him. Rev. Hardin Goodin was the oldest child of his father's family, and was born in the state of Tennessee, in the year 1813. He remained with his parents until 1835, when he was married to Miss Rebecca Kinman. In 1836 he purchased the northwest quarter of section 15, in Martinsburg township, where he settled and still resides. He has always been engaged in farming and raising stock. He has held many of the local offices of his township, and is supervisor at this time. At an early age he gave his heart to God, and his aid and labor to the church, and for the last twenty-five years has been a devoted Christian and an arduous and faithful minister in the church of Christ. He is the father of seven children, six of whom are yet living - five married, and one single. He is surrounded by many warm and Christian friends, and is happily and comfortably situated in life."
