Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's been 122 years since you passed away, but by the way we all talk about you, one would think it was just yesterday. That's how amazing you are to all of us. Thank you great-great Grandpa, for your service and sacrifice. We love you.

I wish i knew you, my grandfather speaks of you a lot. Im aspiring to be a federal marshal. So when my grandfather told me that my great great grandfather was a U.S. Marshal, i instantly started researching and finding out what my grandfather was like. I hope when im a marshal that i can hold up his legacy.

On Monday August 13, 1900, Deputy Goddard attempted to arrest a 20 year old full blood Choctaw Indian named Ambrose “Ombus” Wilson, three miles south of Goodwater in what is now McCurtain County. Wilson shot Deputy Goddard and Goddard returned fire with his shotgun hitting Wilson nine times with buckshot breaking one of his arms before he escaped. Deputy Goddard died the next day. Wilson was arrested from under his uncle’s house where he had been hiding a week later and taken to South McAlester. Deputy Goddard was survived by his wife Mary Emma and four young children.
