Josiah Gochnour
   Hiram Gouchnour, the veteran rail-
roader, last Saturday received from
his niece, Mrs. Ollie Palmquist,
Leavenworth, Wash., announcing the
death of his brother, Josiah Goch-
nour, who passed away at her home
May 27, in his 88th year. Josiah Goch-
nour had been suffering from stomach
trouble for several weeks, but was
able to be about his home until the
evening of the 27th, when he was
stricken with paralysis.
   The deceased was a son of Daniel
and Katharine Amsbaugh Gochnour
and was born February 6, 1826, interred
Headrick's Cemetery above Cone-
maugh. He was one of a family of 
ten children  two girls and eight boys.
Lucinda Gouchnour, aged six months
died in September 1839, and her re-
mains were the first to be interred in
Headrick's Cemetery. The other sis-
ter is Mrs. I. C. Bole, of  East Taylor
Township. Four brothers--Adam,
Ephraim, Clinton, and Stephen Goch-
nour--are dead, and the surviving bro-
thers are William, of Conemaugh, who
is in his 84th year, Hiram of East Tay-
lor Township, and Benjamin Gochnour
of the South Side, who is an Elder of
the First Progressive Brethren Church,
Somerset street.
   Josiah Gochnour was a carpenter by
trade and was employed for a long
time at the Wood Morrell & Co. place
at Mineral Point before going West in
the fall of 1872. He settled in Black
Hawk County, Iowa, going from there
in a prairie schooner to Little River,
Kan. His wife Mrs. Barbara Dimond
Gochnour, was also a native of East
Taylor Township and died at little Riv-
er about 1896 or 1897. Some time after
her death he went to the State of
Washington where he had since made
his home. Besides his sister and bro-
thers, Mr. Gochnour is survived by four
daughters, three sons, and several
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
