They came to America immediately afterward, settling on a farm in the Telbasta neighborhood where three children were born to them, one son, Frederick, dying at the age of seven years. Those left to mourn her departure are one son, Ernest H., and one daughter, Mrs. Emma Rogert, both of Herman, Nebr., seven grandchildren and one sister in Germany.

Mrs. Gosker was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, and was a faithful member of that church until her death.
