Leaving 15 sons and daughters, 43 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, B.F. Goss, well-known farmer of the Stem community, died at noon Saturday following an illness that has confined him since before Christmas.
Mr. Goss had lived in that community nearly all his life and was known and respected by hundreds. He was a great huntsman and lived out-of-doors much of his time. His wife died about 18 months ago.
Sons and daughters surviving are as follows: Lee, Pervis, Alex, Irwin, Luther, Graham, Bullard, Early, Buell, Tom, Miss Hettie Goss of Granville; Mrs. W.A. Ingel of Chase City, Va.; Mrs. A.M. Anderson of Gorman; Miss Joe Bailey of Northside; Mrs. T.L. Ward of Durham.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home with burial following at the family cemetery. Rev. J.A. Henderson of Durham will officiate at the service.
