[4.7] Stephen William Gose
Stephen was born in Wirtville, Virginia, June 4, 1859. Stephen was the son of George R. and Mary Maddaline Gose. He moved with his parents to Lamar County, Texas when just a baby. He married Mary C. Hamblen, May 14, 1884, in Grayson County, Texas. Mary was born November 13, 1855 in Berry County, Missouri. She was the daughter of Pleasant W. and Lucinda Hamblen. She moved with her family back to Franklin County, Arkansas in 1859. The family had formerly lived there. Mary's grandparents, both the Hamblens and Ransomes still lived there. During the Civil War the family moved back to Missouri, but by 1866 the resettled in Johnson County, Arkansas. In 1877 the family moved to Texas and settled in the Honey Grove area of Fannin County.
Oral family history tells us that Stephen was a gambler. It is said that he would take trips to Kentucky and some-times come back with a pocket full of money, and sometimes he would come back broke. But he always came back. Stephen and Mary lived in Honey Grove, Texas. They were Methodists.
Before her death Mary left the following note to her son, Frank Hamblen Gose:
"To serve God is good. To serve man is a sin. No one can serve two masters. We should love one another and serve the Lord. God is love. The human heart is easy hurt. You can step on the earth and it will rise again. When the heart is bruised it only makes one step nearer to our graves. I may never mingle with friends again, but when I am dead let no one but clean hands touch me and lay me away in white. Keep my body three days after death. I hope all the good people will come and take part in the ceremonies. My God bless all who may come. As ever, your mother." (signed) Mary C. Gose...
Stephen W. Gose died 8 Apr 1926, and is buried in the Hickory Grove Cemetery, Lamar County, Texas.. Mary C. (Hamblen) Gose died on 27 Dec 1941. She is buried in the West Hills Cemetery, Sherman, Texas beside her brother, William Franklin Hamblen. Mary and Stephen had one son: Frank Hamblen Gose b. 25 Mar 1894.
