959	Birth and death information from Missouri death certificate 19951 From the June 22, 1922 Skidmore News, page 1: "Another Pioneer Resident Gone Job Goslee Passed Away Tuesday Night at Home of Daughter Mrs. O. T. Karr Job Goslee, a pioneer resident of this community, passed away at midnight Tuesday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. T. Karr, at the age of 86 years, 5 months and 20 days. He had been in failing health for several months, due to the infirmities of age. Mr. Goslee was born in Champaign county, Ohio, January 1, 1836, and came to Missouri more than fifty years ago, settling near Skidmore, where he has lived ever since. He has been very prominent in the development of the county, and is known to practically all of the residents of this part of the county. Funeral services will be held at the O. T. Karr home tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Reubin Barrett, and interment will be in Masonic cemetery. A complete obituary will be published next week." From the June 29, 1922 Skidmore News, page 1: "Job Goslee, son of Job and Elizabeth Goslee, was born in Champaign County, Ohio, January 1, 1836, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. T. Karr, near Skidmore, June 20, 1922, at the age of 86 years, 5 months and 20 days. He came to Nodaway County, Mo., in the year 1886, where he taught two terms of school. Many of the elderly men of this community were pupils of Mr. Goslee when he taught those two terms. He was married to Miss Rachel Albright on February 21, 1872, and to this union were born six children, three of whom died in infancy. Those remaining are Frank I. Goslee, Vanbert Goslee, and Mrs. Lettie Karr, all of this vicinity, and his widow, Mrs. Rachel Goslee, of this city. 'Uncle Job,' as he was familiarly known, was one of a family of nine children - six boys and three girls - and he was the last to answer the final summons, all of the brothers and sisters having preceded him. He was one of the early settlers here and helped to develop this country right here where we are. He was always interested in farms and farming, being a fine judge of stock, and was at one time engaged in the breeding of purebred Shorthorns. He was a keen observer, a great reader, and always interested in the things which were to make for the development of this country as a whole. During the late World War he was vitally interested in the reports of the war from day to day on account of the fact that his twin grandsons, Paul and Pierre Karr, were both in it, Pierre on land and Paul on the sea. 'Uncle Job' was a familiar figure on the streets of our city for the past ten years or more, having turned his business over to his children. He was a charter member of the Masonic lodge at Skidmore, which order officiated at the grave where the rites of the lodge were performed. Funeral services were held at the O. T. Karr home Friday morning at 10:30, and interment was made in Masonic cemetery. The services were largely attended. Those attending from a distance were: Charlie and George McDermott of Clearmont; Mrs. John Hall and Mrs. Dodds of Darlington; Mrs. Flora Garrett of Burlington Junction. There were many very beautiful floral tributes." See also the Maryville Daily Forum, November 2, 1976, page 6.	Goslee, Job (I1600)
960	Birth certificate #4714 file in Clay County, Illinois. Note from Carl W. Gray, 23 March 2010: The 1880 Census for Busseron, Knox County, Indiana shows him living with George and Barbara (Herrington) Wilson as a farm hand, but does NOT indicate any relation to them. Was my previous information incorrect? Was Barbara Herrington not his mother? Hopefully, as I look at the earlier census reports, some of these questions will be answered. In the 1870 Census for Busseron, Knox County, Indiana, John A. Luke is 9 years old living with George W. and Barbara (Herrington) Wilson. I'm convinced that my previous information was correct. Barbara is the mother of John Albert Luke.	Luke, John Albert (I89)

Birth and death information from Missouri death certificate 19951

From the June 22, 1922 Skidmore News, page 1:
"Another Pioneer Resident Gone
Job Goslee Passed Away Tuesday Night at Home of Daughter Mrs. O. T. Karr
Job Goslee, a pioneer resident of this community, passed away at midnight Tuesday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. T. Karr, at the age of 86 years, 5 months and 20 days.

He had been in failing health for several months, due to the infirmities of age.

Mr. Goslee was born in Champaign county, Ohio, January 1, 1836, and came to Missouri more than fifty years ago, settling near Skidmore, where he has lived ever since. He has been very prominent in the development of the county, and is known to practically all of the residents of this part of the county.

Funeral services will be held at the O. T. Karr home tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Reubin Barrett, and interment will be in Masonic cemetery.

A complete obituary will be published next week."

From the June 29, 1922 Skidmore News, page 1:
"Job Goslee, son of Job and Elizabeth Goslee, was born in Champaign County, Ohio, January 1, 1836, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. T. Karr, near Skidmore, June 20, 1922, at the age of 86 years, 5 months and 20 days.

He came to Nodaway County, Mo., in the year 1886, where he taught two terms of school. Many of the elderly men of this community were pupils of Mr. Goslee when he taught those two terms.

He was married to Miss Rachel Albright on February 21, 1872, and to this union were born six children, three of whom died in infancy. Those remaining are Frank I. Goslee, Vanbert Goslee, and Mrs. Lettie Karr, all of this vicinity, and his widow, Mrs. Rachel Goslee, of this city.

'Uncle Job,' as he was familiarly known, was one of a family of nine children - six boys and three girls - and he was the last to answer the final summons, all of the brothers and sisters having preceded him.

He was one of the early settlers here and helped to develop this country right here where we are. He was always interested in farms and farming, being a fine judge of stock, and was at one time engaged in the breeding of purebred Shorthorns.

He was a keen observer, a great reader, and always interested in the things which were to make for the development of this country as a whole.

During the late World War he was vitally interested in the reports of the war from day to day on account of the fact that his twin grandsons, Paul and Pierre Karr, were both in it, Pierre on land and Paul on the sea.

'Uncle Job' was a familiar figure on the streets of our city for the past ten years or more, having turned his business over to his children.

He was a charter member of the Masonic lodge at Skidmore, which order officiated at the grave where the rites of the lodge were performed.

Funeral services were held at the O. T. Karr home Friday morning at 10:30, and interment was made in Masonic cemetery. The services were largely attended. Those attending from a distance were: Charlie and George McDermott of Clearmont; Mrs. John Hall and Mrs. Dodds of Darlington; Mrs. Flora Garrett of Burlington Junction. There were many very beautiful floral tributes."

Birth certificate #4714 file in Clay County, Illinois.

Note from Carl W. Gray, 23 March 2010:

The 1880 Census for Busseron, Knox County, Indiana shows him living with George and Barbara (Herrington) Wilson as a farm hand, but does NOT indicate any relation to them.

Was my previous information incorrect?

Was Barbara Herrington not his mother?

Hopefully, as I look at the earlier census reports, some of these questions will be answered.

In the 1870 Census for Busseron, Knox County, Indiana, John A. Luke is 9 years old living with George W. and Barbara (Herrington) Wilson. I'm convinced that my previous information was correct. Barbara is the mother of John Albert Luke.
