William Franklin Goolsby
W.F. Goolsby was born in Fluvanna County, Virginia, October 28, 1837, where he spent the days of his boyhood and early manhood. He obeyed the gospel in 1858 at Sycamore Church, and was baptized by Bro. Kettyrow*. He served in the Confederate Army as a private soldier from April 17, 1861 through the entire war end to its close. In October 1866 he was married to his first cousin, Virginia Elizabeth Goolsby, and in the same month moved to Granville, Jackson County, Tennessee, living in Granville and vicinity until 1895 when he moved to Dyersville, near Baxter, Tennessee. After three years he moved to Algood, where he lived until his health failed. The remainder of his days he spent with his daughter, Mrs. Albert Mofield, at Livingston, and at the age of seventy-five he, with great faith, hope and gladness, passed into the Great Beyond. At his request his body was brought to Algood for burial, and Bro. Gunn, of Sparta, conducted the funeral services.
To the end Bro. Goolsby was the cultivated, refined Virginia gentleman, and the patient, faithful Christian.
