Charles A. Gossman – Early Pioneer Tales — 8 Comments

  1. Wow! Thanks for sharing this. Charles Gossman was my great-great-grandfather and I don’t think anyone in my family has ever seen this article.

    • Charles was my great-grandfather as well. I was aware of some of these accounts through general family discussion but never realized he had written an article. This is fascinating to me. I have been meaning to go to review the audio interviews taken by Jean Taylor in the 60s, I believe, when she wrote a book on the area. I know there exist taped interviews with Jesse as well as his brothers. I am the great grandson of Jesse and the grandson of Charles. Thank you for your posting.

  2. Charles Gossman was my great-grandfather; Jesse and Minnie Aman Gossman my maternal grandparents So loved reading this. Visited that home as a child. Thank you!Alene

  3. I found this so interesting. Henry Gossman was my grandfather and my father Frank Gossman would tell me about living in Silver Palm as a young boy. I have the actual homestead certificate with the signature of Theodore Roosevelt, president of the U. S., on it. My grandmother, Ellen Gossman, lived in Miami when I was a little boy; she would talk about life in Silver Palm back in the day. I found it so interesting. Thank you, Jeff, for this article.

  4. I’m so amazed by this article. Thank you so much for posting it. Jessie Gossman, Joseph, Alene and Craig, I too am related to you all. Charles Gossman was my mother Cecilia’s great-grandfather and he’s my great-great-grandfather. I know all about the history. I still have a family painting painted by Minnie Gossman. My Mom is telling me how you all are either my 2nd, 3rd, or 4th cousins. LOL. It’s hard to figure out. LOL.
