                               Obituary

Mrs. Elizabeth Goss, wife of Wm.C. Goss, Es.,of this village whose death was 
announced in last week's OBSERVER, was born  Wyoming Co.,New York, July 8th, 
1840. At the age of nine she came with her parents to Clinton Co., this state, 
were they resided many years.She was married to Mr.Wm. Goss, July 14, 1858, and 
after a few years residence on a farm in Westphalia township, they removed to 
this village having lived here nearly eighteen years.

The deceased was possessed of a cheerful and amiable disposition, which enabled 
her to bear the trials and adversities of life with fortitude a well as to enjoy 
to the fullest extent its blessings.She was benevolent and kind, ever ready to 
extend a helping hand to those in trouble and affliction, and as long as health 
permitted was among the first to be at the bedside of the sick, where she was 
untiring in her efforts to alleviate suffering. For over three years she had 
been infailing health and most of the time was under the doctor's care. She had 
for several years been a consistent and valued member of the Universalist Church 
of this village, and her firm faith in a merciful God, whose love extends to all 
his children and who in his infinite love wisdom will bring them  into a higher 
and better state of existence in the life to come, endured to the last and was a 
source of the greatest comfort and consolation.

She leaves a husband and three daughters, and a large circle of warm friends to 
mourn her loss.The funeral services took place at the universalist Church on 
Tuesday of last week, and were largely attended, Rev. H.W. Smith assisted by 
Rev. G.W. Bothwell, officiating.
