ON THE RETIRED LIST
Included in the one hundred and
forty-throe employes that the Pennsylvania railroad company retired
as of November 1, was our townsman, Mr. Elmer E. Goss, who enters upon a well-earned, vacation
after a service of forty years and
eight months. Mr. Goss' railroad
service begun with the Pennsylvania
and Northwestern railroad in 1890
at the engine house, as engine hostler under the late Thomas Bell, and
later in the machine shop as tinsmith helper with the late Alex
Kittle as foreman. Several years
prior to 1900 he was employed by
tiie Irvona Coal and Coke company
at Irvona, as a stationary engineer.
In 1900 he was back in the service
of the P. andN. W. as engine hostler. In 1902 this road was taken
over by the P. R. R. and he continued in that capacity until his retirement without broken service or furlough.
In this length of service he
served under Superintendents Ford
and Cutbert, Master Mechanics Van
Brunt and Snyder, and Foremen
Bell, Kittle, Weaver and Porter, in
the Bellwood, Cresson, Pittsburgh
and Middle divisions. His length
of service was a faithful one and
his record clean. He resides at No.
616 North Second street, this borough,, where he and Mrs. Goss have
a cosy home. It's likely "Elsie," as
we call him, along with Mrs. Goss,
will be seeing places, and thus enjoy
his'well-earned vacation.
