Small Business Spotlight: The Square Cupboard
Do you know DeSoto?
DeSoto County Museum’s Unknown Child Exhibit honors the memory of the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust and pays tribute to our area’s earliest Jewish settlers, the Goodman family. Joseph Goodman left Germany for the United States when he was 18. He settled in Memphis and became a jeweler, opening Goodman’s Jewelry Store in the 1860s. When the yellow fever epidemic struck the Bluff City in 1873, Joseph and his wife moved to DeSoto County. While living at the top of the Magnolia State, the Goodmans owned a general store and ran a dairy farm, and Joseph was a charter member of the DeSoto County Stock Association. The family’s impact on our area was great, which is why one of our most trafficked thoroughfares, Goodman Road, is named after them.
