The body of Mrs. George G. Gosting, who passed away at her home at Westfield last Wednesday, was brought overland to Hawarden Saturday morning and laid to rest in Grace Hill Cemetery beside the grave of her husband who preceded her in death about six years ago. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dettmer, were held in Westfield.

Julia Ann Martin was born in Syracuse, New York, and in early life removed to Muscatine, Iowa, where the years of her girlhood were spent. She was united in marriage to George G. Gosting of St. Louis and they spent the early years of their married life in that city. In 1880 they moved to Le Mars where Mr. Gosting engaged in the photography business for a number of years. They later moved to Westfield where she had since made her home.

She is survived by three sons and two daughters, George G. Gosting of Mitchell, South Dakota; Chas. A. Gosting of Wynot, Nebraska; Mrs. J.H. Paramore of Hawarden, and Harry and Grace who reside at Westfield.

Mrs. Gosting was a fine Christian woman and was held in high regard by a large circle of friends.
