Family Connection Our ancestor Susanah Beery Good was born in 1810 near what 24 years later would become Bremen. Her future husband David Good moved into the same area the year after Susanna was born. Their son Joel Good was born near Bremen in 1835, and Susanna died there in 1855. In 1865, shortly before the end of the US Civil War, David and his second wife Lydia Beery Engle Stemen moved from Bremen to Page Co. IA. A few years after they were married in 1864, Joel and his wife Susanna Huber moved to the Lima and Elida, OH area, and then in 1868, they moved on to near Latham, MO. In 1884, they left for brief stay near Garden City, MO and then on to their final home on a farm near Peabody, KS in 1885.
