  WILLIAM GOSSE. The farming interests of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, are in the hands of men of experience, progressive methods and practical ideas, with whom it is a matter of pride to keep their section in the front rank of agricultural counties. During the past several decades conditions here have changed to a great extent, and the use of farming machinery as operated by steam power, has greatly facilitated the raising of large crops as compared with the crude implements of the sturdy pioneers who first broke the country to the plow. Practical ideas, good management and the use of up-to-date machinery have made many men successful as agriculturists during the past few years, and one of these is William Gosse, who is the owner of the fine Gosse homestead in Ellington township. Mr. Gosse was born on the farm he is now conducting, December 4, 1879, and is a son of Frank and Johanna Gosse, the former of whom was born in Berlin, Germany, and came to the United States when a young man. He first settled in Greenville township, Outagamie county, but later sold his property there and came to Ellington township, where he followed farming until his death. His widow, who survives him, makes her home with her son on the homestead, which the latter acquired through purchase in the spring of 1911. The family has always been connected with the German Lutheran Church, and Mrs. Gosse is prominent in church and charitable work. The farm is finely developed, well equipped with buildings, has a fine stream of flowing water and yields large crops.
