TRIBUTE TO MRS. GOSS
Minnie Goss (nee shuck)
Life Long Friend of Beloved, Blairstown Woman Tells of Her Life Work
(By Mrs. Robert Firman)
While the world was joyous in the celebration of the anniversary of returning peace little did we realize that the death angel hovered near, claiming as its victim one of our fairest and best, leaving a vacancy that time can never fill.
And while a real sorrow is something that can never be put into words we fain would add a line of loving remembrances and kindly appreciation of a beautiful life and character.
Minnie Shuck was born May 7, 1877, in Blairstown, Iowa and passed to her eternal reward November 11, 1919.
She attended the district school northwest of town, mostly under the tutelage of Miss Lora Firman, whose words of comendation were ever ready and sincere.
After graduating at the Blairstown High school which she did in one year after finishing the district school, she spent one year in a private school in Blairstown.
She was united in marriage to Geo. W. Goss January 12, 1898, since which time she, with her husband and family have lived in town.
She united with the Presbyterian church in early life where as a faithful, helpful worker and adviser she will be greatly missed.
She leaves to mourn her loss, a husband, five children, Kenneth, Margaret, Aide, Harriet and the little baby. Also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Shuck, a sister, Mrs. Hattie Traer, of Jacksonville, Florida and a brother Grant of Blairstown, many other relatives and friends join in paying a tribute to this beautiful life just closed.
When we hear the music ringing
In the bright celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices singing
Shall we see the same eyes shining
Shall we feel the dear arms twining
