To Be Held Thursday Morning from Late Residence

The funeral of Mrs. Abbie Jane Goe, widow of the late Thomas R. Goe, who

The maiden name of the deceased was Abbie Jane McKoy, and she was a sister
of the late H.W. McKoy of this city.  Mrs. Goe was born in Washua, N.H., in
the year 1846.  Soon after arriving in Oshkosh from the east she was
married to Mr. T.R. Goe, Feb. 22, 1864.

She was a cultivated woman, had a refined nature and urbane disposition,
and by her many noble qualities of character won the love and esteem of a
very large circle of friends.  Her devotion t the members of her family was
very tender and beautiful, and it led her to feel that no sacrifice she
could make on their behalf was too great.  For many years Mrs. Goe was a
member of the First Congregatinal church of this city, and ever graced her
christian p;rofession by a consistent and useful life.  Of the immediate
relatives there survive a son, Walter R. Goe, two daughters, Gertrude M.
Goe and Phebe C. Goe; a sister, Mrs. W.D. martin of New York, and a
brother, John McKoy of Kansas.
