A. F. GOSHORN DIES WHILE AT MEETINGPrinting and Engraving Bureau Worker is Victim of Apoplexy Stroke. May 1, 1929
A. F. Goshorn, 67, of 1305 Juniper street, an employe of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, died of apoplexy while attending the meeting of the West Virginia State Society at the Washington Club, Seventeenth and K streets, last night. Other members of the society were dancing when Mr. Goshorn talking to a group of friends, collapsed. Dr. E. Grabiski of Emergency Hospital, responding to a call, said death was caused by apoplexy. Friends declared he had complained he was not feeling well. During election of officers Mr. Goshorn served as teller and when the dancing began, he started to talk to friends, when he was stricken. Formerly a resident of Charleston, W. Va., Mr. Goshorn came to Washington more than 40 years ago and for many years has been employed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He lived with his son-in-law and his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William C. Bowman. Mr. Goshorn had been a member of the West Virginia State Society for many years. He also was member of the Knights of Pythias.

MRS. GOSHORN S DEATHOccurred (sic) Sunday Morning at Cedar Grove-Funeral Here Yesterday. [April 1900]The death of Mrs. Sallie Goshorn, who had been slowly sinking for several weeks at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dr. C. H. Malcolm, at Cedar Grove, occurred Sunday morning at 8 o clock. The funeral services were conducted yesterday morning at 11 o clock at the Baptist church on Capitol street, by Rev. T. C. Johnson, assisted by Rev. C. G. Christian, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Malden, after which the remains were interred in Spring Hill cemetery. Mrs. Goshorn was the widow of the late David Goshorn, who died in 1872. Her father was John McConihay, who settled here in 1805. At the time of her death she was 69 years of age. She was married July 11, 1850 and was the mother of eight children, six of whom survive her. They are J. W. Goshorn, of Buffalo, N. Y.; Ernest Goshorn and Alban Goshorn, and Mrs. E. J. Palmer, of this city and Louis Goshorn and Mrs. Dr. C. H. Malcolm of Cedar Grove. Mrs. Goshorn has been since her fourteenth year a consistent member of the Baptist church of this city, having been one of the original thirteen who formed it. She has ever been a liberal supporter of all benevolent objects connected with her church and was loved and admired by all for her beautiful christian character and consistent life. About a year ago she selected the text, taken from the last verse of the sixth chapter of Romans, from which she requested her funeral sermon to be preached, and also that the xxiii psalm be read. The funeral services were largely attended, among those present from a distance being Mrs. Harry McConihay, of Russell, Ky., F. G. McConihay and wife of Lewiston and James McConihay and wife of East Bank. Those who acted as pall bearers were Elbert, George, William and Henry Goshorn, Harry Anderson and Dr. J. M. McConihay, all nephews of the deceased.

Here is the information recorded in my gr grandfather's bible. He and his wife lived around Decota in Kanawha County.
