LE MARS PIONEER PHOTOGRAPHER DIES
George Gosting Spent His Youthful Days Here

Friends in LeMars received word this week of the death of George Gosting at
his home in Mitchell, S.D., Monday night.

Mr. Gosting spent his early life in LeMars, and was a son of the late George
Gosting, who with his brothers, William, Edward and John Gosting, came from
Hopkinton, Delaware county, Iowa, in the Seventies and took up land in
Plymouth county, all being Union soldiers.

The elder George Gosting conducted a photographic gallery in LeMars in the
pioneer days of the town, and his son followed in his footsteps for some
years.

The George Gosting family later acquired land near Westfield.

Funeral services for George Gosting were held at Mitchell, S.D., Thursday.
