    • Jacob J. Goossen was the youngest child born to Jacob A. and Paulina (Ortman) Goossen. He was born March 19, 1914 on a farm northwest of Marion, South Dakota and died January 13, 2009. He received his education in Riverdale School District No. 80.

      Jacob married Ethel Rose Deckert on August 24, 1937. They lived and farmed on the home place, where he was born, until 1987 when they moved into Marion. Jake was on the Riverdale school board for many years. He also was the telephone line repairman for several years for the farmer-owned telephone cooperative in his community. He was active in the Marion Church of God. As long as he was able, he enjoyed going to church and was a faithful choir member for many years. He also sang in duets, trios and quartets.
