 Rose TeGantvoort was born May 20, 1922 to Henry and Ragna TeGantvoort in Clear Lake. She attended school in Hidewood Hills, in Deuel County. She married Arnold Goodroad on Jan. 11, 1940, in Clear Lake and they were married for 51 years. They lived and farmed near Estelline from 1940 to 1970 and then moved to Brookings.
