Obituary: Sterling Kansas Bulletin, 1924, 05/18

D. R. Gossman Died Sunday

One of the Oldest Settlers of THis Community Passed Away at His Home near Saxman

Dirk Richard Gossman was born at Struckhold, Germany, March 6, 1848, and died May 18, 1924, at his home near Saxman, Kansas, at the age of 76 years 2 months and 12 days. He left his home in Germany in 1869 and came to America and settled in Illinois where he lived for seven years. He came to Kansas in the spring of 1876 and settled on the farm where he made his home until his death.

He received his education in the schools in Germany and at the age of fourteen was confirmed in the Luthern Evangelical church, and has continued a member of that church during his whole life.

On April 10th, 1876 he was married to Miss Minnie Rose, To this union was born seven children: Henry, who died when seventeen years old, Lewis, John Julia, who died when twelve years old; Mrs. Lena Johannson, Mrs. Leonora Baker and Rose, who died when fifteen months old. Besides his wife and children, Mr. Gossman is survived by two brothers, II. Gossman, who lives in Illinois; and Thomas Gossman, who lives in Germany and also eight grandchildren.

Mr. Gossman was an early settler and knew the hardships of pioneer life. He worked hard and obtained his home and shared with his neighbors the work of building this community.  He was one of the organizers of the Midland Evangelical church and has been at all times, a most faithful member of the same. He loved his Bible, loved to study the Sunday school lesson and was faithful in attendance even in spite of declining health. He has not only finished the course but has kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for him the crown of eternal life which the Lord has promised to the faithful.

His father migrated to the states from Czechoslovakia, came to Sterling in the early 1880s to work as a bootmaker in the pioneer Sterling firm of Woonacott and Fleeson., Later, his father had his own shop in a little building that stood where the Trueheart Clinic now stands and by the age of 10 Louie was helping with tacking soles and sewing rips.In 1908 Louie attended Sterling College and was well-known as an athlete, being a baseball pitcher and football player. He left school, studied telegraphy and was an agent at the depot at Anness which was near Wichita. This is where he met his wife, Grace Ashley, and following their marriage, in 1909, they set up house keeping in the depot building at Anness. The building now stands in Cowtown at Wichita. A short time later they moved to Sterling where Louie resumed the trade of being a cobbler. This was his occupation for almost 70 years, retiring in 1972. As the oldest businessman on Broadway, Louie, with his wife, rode in Sterling’s Centennial Parade in 1972. After his wife’s death in 1974, he went to Missouri to live with his son. In May of 1976 he returned to Sterling to say goodbye to his ancient equipment on which he plied his trade. The machinery, including two stitchers and a large finisher, plus his hand tools, were hauled to Goessel where it became a part of the Mennonite Heritage Complex. During his many years of business on Broadway and knowing almost everyone in the community, Louie was a great source of information. When anyone needed a bit of information they only needed to visit with the sprightly cobbler.
