Read More	Unlike the other early Lake Charles cemeteries, which are private or city owned parcels, the Goos Cemetery is owned and managed by the Goosport Graveyard Endowment, a non-profit incorporated November 21, 1952. Located in Goosport near the site of the home and lumber mill of Captain Daniel Johannes Goos and his wife, Katherine Barbara Moeling Goos, the Goos Cemetery was established for their descendants. The earliest graves date from the 1870s. Around the turn of the twentieth century, it was endowed by one of their daughters and her husband, Captain George and Ellen Goos Lock. Today the cemetery is maintained by the Goosport Graveyard Endowment Corporation. In 1987, it was designated a historic landmark by the Calcasieu Preservation Society Historians believe the cemetery dates back to the War Between the States and possibly even earlier. Northern and Southern soldiers who were wounded at the Battle of Calcasieu Pass in May 1864, were taken to the Goos home for care. Soldiers who died in the battle are said to be buried in the family cemetery, though no markers remain today. In 2003, the Endowment purchased a tract of property on Joe Miller Road in Moss Bluff, Louisiana. Goos Cemetery – Moss Bluff has been developed, and the first burial there was on January 25, 2011. Joe Miller Road intersects with U.S. Highway 171 in northern Moss Bluff. The Articles of Incorporation of the Goosport Graveyard Endowment specify that persons to be buried in Goos Cemetery shall be direct descendants of Mrs. Katrina Moeling (Mrs. Daniel J. Goos), who died in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana on March 11, 1884, or persons who, under Louisiana laws for intestate successions, would be heirs of a descendant of Mrs. Goos. The large iron fence around the cemetery helps detour vandals, while also protecting grave markers from automobile damage. A hit-and-run took place in the 1960s when a driver veered off the road, subsequently taking out over 40 feet of the cemetery fence. Just north of Goos Cemetery, outside the fence, is Goos-Lee Cemetery which was reportedly used by the employees of the Goos Family Enterprises.
