"Following an illness of but a few day's duration, Josiah Goldsworthy, 24 years of age and a resident of Big Oak Flat, passed away at his home on Thursday, January 13, pneumonia being the cause of death.

Deceased was married last September to Miss Mamie Gerken, whose mother died a few days before from the same sickness. Mr. Goldsworthy's father and one brother are also down with the dread disease and their condition is reported to be critical.

"Si" Goldsworthy was well-known in this district, where his parent's resided before moving to Big Oak Flat, and he was universally liked. He was a young man of excellent qualities, conscientious and industrious, and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his demise."
