From the Goss Family History by Troy Goss:
James Albert Goss Sr. was the first-born son of a Swedish immigrant father. He was born at the home of his maternal grandmother, Jane McNeil Goodwin Johnson on May 7, 1868, in Coulterville, Mariposa County, California, and was likely named for his maternal grandfather James Goodwin, who had died three years prior. He married Louise Rose Canova, a daughter of Italian immigrant merchants from Genoa, Italy, on October 7, 1890, and had six children, two of whom died in childhood.
James Albert Goss was a teamster by trade. He lived his entire life in Coulterville.
Louise Rose Canova Goss died on February 26, 1939, in Coulterville, a week before her 67th birthday.
James Albert Goss died 17 years later at the age of 88 on July 10, 1956. Both James and Louise are buried at the Coulterville Cemetery.
