Wasn't able to find a burial location either. Online posting has Daniel Goen married to a Letha L. Smallwood on May 30, 1885 in Jackson Co., Indiana Jackson Co., IN doesn't post their marriages after 1850 online so to confirm this you would have to contact the Jackson County Clerks office for a copy. Letha's parents are listed as Samuel & Nancy (Richardson) Smallwood. She is listed in the 1880 Jackson Co., census with her parents as Letha E. is 10 years old. Daniel's parents are listed as Stephen and Charlotte (Allen) Goen. ******************************** Batholomew Co., Marriages Lucy Goen (b: Nov. 29, 1894) m: June 10, 1911 (Bk.
