"I remember my grandmother, Lizzie, telling me that she had 5 boys and 5 girls. Four girls and one boy died in infancy. The names, birth dates, and death dates were lost when her Bible disappeared sometime between her death in 1950 and the death of her only surviving daughter, Ida, in 1979. Evidently, these 5 infants died between the 1900 census and the 1910 census." (Source - Louise Fisher Goff 1 May 2001)

He was employed as Lone Star Gas Co in Dallas, Dallas, TX.
Note by Gwen Goff Hobbs:
A wonderful, good natured man who I knew as my grandfather. (He and Bonnie married in December after I was born.) He created new iris hybrids as a hobby as well as other gardening and he enjoyed travel and photography. He was a church elder and known for his frequent "Amen"s in church (it used to embarass me so much when I was little). He lived the life of a good Christian man day in and day out.
On August 26, 1977, he was digging a field line in the cool of the morning. He went in for lunch and then for his usual nap. He started feeling sick and called Bonnie who took him to the hospital. He had suffered a mild heart attack. That evening, he suffered another massive heart attack and died. The preacher at his funeral stated, "What a way to go. Working in his garden in the morning and with the Lord that evening." If he could have planned his departure from this earth, I believe that this would have been the way he chose.
