- Goodman had served for several years as the sheriff of Washington County, North Carolina:"...that granite shaft marks the last resting place of Goodman Darden and his wife and by it our memory reverts to the days before the civil strife when he who lies beneath that sod was the high Sheriff of Washington County, collecting taxes from slave owners and directing the execution of the law from the whipping post to the gallows. 'Twas he, who, on the 28th day of February, 1858, adjusted the "Black Cap" and directed the execution of Dick Fisher for the murder of one Elijah Hassell, under the pines over yonder to the sunset, beyond the base ball park".
