Gosney (Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Clarence). David Gosney, the father of James W., was originally from Virginia, and after he grew up was married to Miss Anna Wilson, a native of Maryland. They became early settlers of Adams county, Ohio, and James W. was born there September 29, 1830. In 1844 they removed to Marion county, Mo., where the father bought land and improved a good farm. He died there in 1863. There were four sons and three daughters in the family who grew to maturity, all of whom are living except one of the sisters. James W. was the fourth in the family, and remained at home until 1850, when he joined that innumerable caravan of Argonauts, bound for that then mysterious coast of the continent washed by the Pacific seas. He crossed the plains for California, and spent three years in the Pactolian land of the Occident. In 1853, having had some success in mining, Mr. Gosney returned to Marion county, Mo., and on the holy eve of Christmas reached the old family hearthstone which he had left three years before. The following spring he engaged in farming, and continued it in Marion county for about three years. During this time, February 13, 1855, he was married to Miss Allie J., a daughter of Thomas and Mary Hagar, of Ralls county, but formerly of Kentucky. Mrs. Gosney was educated at Lebanon College, in Kentucky. Mr. Gosney removed to Shelby county in 1856, and bought land in Clay township, where he improved a farm, or rather he had bought and built there prior to this. He lived on that place for 27 years, engaged principally in raising stock and trading in them generally. He is still quite extensively engaged in handling stock, and is one of the enterprising stock men of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Gosney have a family consisting of five sons and five daughters: Laura E., wife of James Mayberry; Thomas D., married; William F., James M., Robert M., Maude W., Nannie Y., Malissa J., John S. and Lillie Irene. Mrs. G. is a member of the Catholic Church.
