The Carson City Gazette, Friday, July 19, 1901
The community was surprised and shocked yesterday morning to learn of the 
death of Oscar Goolthrite which occurred about two o’clock that morning.  Mr. 
Goolthrite was a native of New York state where he was born in March 1829 
being in his 73rd year at the time of his death.  He assisted in the harvest 
field this week and Wednesday night retired in his usual health.  Shortly 
after midnight he complained of a pain in his stomach.  His wife asked him if 
they should summon a physician but he said he would be all right pretty soon 
and died in a short time.

He had been a resident of Michigan over fifty years and has lived twenty-six 
years on his farm two miles south of town.  He was a successful farmer, an 
honest man, and a citizen whom the community at large highly respected.

Byron Goolthrite of Lebanon and Mrs. Eli Boyer of Bloomer, a son and daughter 
by a previous marriage, and a widow, four sons, Clinton, Eugene, Robert and 
Joseph, and two daughters, Mrs. Eva Kreighbaum and Miss Carrie Goolthrite 
survive him. 

The funeral services will be held at his late home Saturday at 2 p.m. and 
burial will be made in the Hubbardston cemetery.
