Kathryn Goss

 

 

This page is dedicated to the memory of the only Grandmother I ever knew or remember. She passed away in 1939 when I was only 14 but the things we did together and the places she took me as a young child I will always remember.
Kathryn Goss was born March 25, 1867 to John Goss and Sarah Ann Williams in New York City, New York. John Goss was born in Mimet or Minsk, Prussia and his wife Sarah Ann Williams was born in Liverpool, England, they were married in New York City.
Kathryn married Andrew Mc Kenna, born Brooklyn, on August 25, 1886 in New York City.
There were three children born of the marriage:

1. Grace of whom I know very little except from what my mother told me and that was that she died at an early age. It seems they were playing in the house and a kettle of boiling water was spilled on her from the stove.
2. Sarah Geraldine, my mother was born June 9, 1889 and died September 26, 1983 at the age of 94.
3. Charlotte was born September 21, 1891 and died at an early age on August 8, 1932. She lived 40 years, 10 months and 18 days. I was told by my sister that her death was due to complications as the result of an auto accident. I was only 7 at the time but do remember seeing her as she lived with us for a while after the accident. Aunt Lottie as we called her was married twice, a fellow by the name of Edward Stout and second James J. Moran
There was one child that I know of that was born to the first marriage, Florence.

Kathryn is buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington, New Jersey. Also in the same grave is her daughter Charlotte.
