The son of Michael Guteman & Mary Magdalena (Brown) Goodman, he married Christina Deniah Hand ca. 1852 or 55 and fathered Mary (b. 11/18/56 - married Isaac Bast Thompson), Emma (b. 04/03/58 - married Elwood S. Showers), David (b. 06/28/60), Fyetta (b. @1864), Catherine (b. 12/20/67 - married Lincoln Wren Rhoades and a Niehanke), Frank (b. @1869), Lydia (b. 03/05/72 - married Nathan A. Rightler), George (b 02/12/74), and Ellen (b.08/28/76 - married William Noveinger). In 1860, he was a farmer living with his family in Porter Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Pine Grove, Schuylkill County, June 29, 1863, during the Gettysburg crisis, mustered into state service at Harrisburg July 1 as a private with Co. H, 39th Pennsylvania Militia, and honorably discharged with his company August 2, 1863.

Cause of his death is listed as "chronic interstitial nephritis {and} mitral stenosis" with "asthma" a contributing factor.

His obituary in the West Schuylkill Herald erroneously claims that "toward the close of the Civil War he enlisted as a volunteer in a Penna. Regiment and had served five months when the war came to a close."
