The sudden death of two of Fulton county's pioneers, almost within an hour, shocked the people of the community Friday night when they heard that Henry MOW, 79, had died about 4:45 p.m. of hardening of the arteries and that at six o'clock George W. GOSS, 69, had passed away from heart trouble. Both men had been ill for some time.
George GOSS was born January 19, 1853, in Fulton County, the son of Sebastian and Elizabeth GOSS. He made his home in this county all of his life. He was a farmer by occupation but more recently had moved to Rochester and lived. He suffered from heart trouble for about eight months before the fatal attack. he was a member of the Evangelical Church.
Mr. Goss was married twice, the first time to Susan COLLINS and to this union one son was born, Reynaldo [GOSS], now of South Bend who survives. Several years after the death [of his first wife] he married Mary PYLE, the wedding taking place June 17, 1880. They had one son, Lloyd [GOSS], of South Bend, who also survives. Seven grandchildren are living.
Funeral at the home on South Franklin Ave., Sunday afternoon at 2:30 with Rev. E. J. NICKELS officiating. Burial at the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
