Note: Buried in Lot 2nd.005 with husband William who died the following year. Her year of birth is noted in one obituary here as 1836, which is also the case in the 1900 census, or 1837, which is on her Death Certificate. However, her gravestone shows a birth year of 1838. The more common (and used by later generations) spelling of the surname is GOSSICK, however her gravestone has GOSICK. Other family members' obituaries have used GOSSIC. Consider variations when researching this family.
