Bowen & Co., Indianapolis, 1914, page 574: NATHANIEL CLARK GOSSETT - Agriculture has been an honored vocation from the earliest ages and, as a usual thing, men of honorable and humane impulses, as well as those of energy and thrift, have been patrons of husbandry. The free out-door life of the farm has a decided tendency to foster and develop that independence of mind and self-reliance which characterizes true manhood and no truer blessing can befall a boy than to be reared in close touch with nature in the healthful, life-inspiring labor of the fields. It has always been the fruitful soil from which have sprung the moral bone and sinew of the country, and the majority of our nation's great warriors, renowned statesmen and distinguished men of letters were born on the farm and were indebted largely to its early influence for the distinction which they have attained. Nathaniel Clark Gossett, one of the many successful farmers of Brown township, Hendricks county, Indiana, is a native of this county, born on a farm of which his present holdings constituted a part, on January 28, 1856, being one of twelve children of Nathaniel Walton and Mary Greenfield (Fox) Gossett, the former of whom was a son of John and Dorcas (Clark) Gossett, John Gossett was a son of Thomas and Sarah (Walton) Gossett. Dorcas Clark, paternal grandmother of the immediate subject of this sketch, was a daughter of Samuel E. and Rachael (Bratton) Clark, the former of whom was a veteran of the War of the Revolution. Mary Greenfield Fox, mother of the subject of this sketch, was a daughter of John and Hannah (Barker) Fox, and both she and the father of the subject were natives of the state of North Carolina, being brought to Indiana by their parents while they were still children. Nathaniel W. Gossett was twelve years of age at that time, while Mary Greenfield Fox was but eight years old. Both families settled in Hendricks county, about two and one-half miles north of Plainfield. Here the young people in question grew to maturity and there their marriage was later solemnized. Nathaniel W. Gossett spent his boyhood days on the paternal farmstead, where he early learned the secrets of successful agriculture under the intelligent direction of his father. He devoted himself assiduously to the cultivation of the soil all his life and was eminently successful in his chosen vocation. At the age of nineteen he was married and at that time purchased a portion of his father's farm, remaining on that tract until in 1853. His original holdings were then disposed of to advantage and he purchased two hundred and ten acres of land in the northeast portion of Brown township, Hendricks county, where he passed the remainder of his life. His death occurred on October 28, 1903, and at that time he was living, together with his son, Nathaniel C, the immediate subject of this sketch, in a house he had built on his farm some distance from the old homestead, having disposed of all but eighty acres of his original farm. A short time before his death he sold that tract to the subject of this sketch, who has continued to reside there. There too, the mother of subject passed away on October 23, 1910. Mr Gossett has never married. He keeps his farm up to the highest type of modern agricultural methods and conducts his business in such a manner as to win for himself the reputation of being a thorough agriculturist. Mr. Gossett's oldest brother was one of the leading men of his community, serving as county superintendent of school for several years. He was also a veteran of the Civil War. Personally, Mr. Gossett is a man of strong personal qualities, easily makes friends and always retains them. United in his composition are so many elements of a provident, practical nature, which during a series of years have brought him into prominence and earned for him a first place among the enterprising men of his county, that it is but just recognition of his worthiness that he receive specific mention in this work.
