GOSS, Andrew December 21, 1912 Mariposa Gazette
Andrew GOSS, whose death occurred on Monday, Dec. 9th, at his home in Stockton, was at one time a prominet and much esteemed resident of Coulterville but removing some years ago to the valley city seemed to have become attached to the new surrondings and Coulterville scenes saw him no more. But Coulterville neighbors and firends did not forget and with genuine regret followed his remains last Thursday to the Coulterville cemetery where they were laid beside those of his three sons, Charles, William and John.
Mr. GOSS was a native of Sweden and 74 years of age. He was twice married and is survived by the widow, Mrs. Theresa GOSS, and three sons by a former marriage, Jas. GOSS of Coulterville and Benj. and Jesse GOSS of Jamestown.
The good that men do live after them and so many of us who knew him well can recall nothing but kind acts in the life of the deceased causing sorrow for his death to be deep and sincere. His family are receiving the sympathy of numerous friends in their beravement.
