Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 333:
George A. Gosnell, one of the leading agriculturists of Orford township, County of Kent, lives on Lot 3, Concession 6, where he owns a farm of sixty-seven and one half acres, and has a fine brick house, which he built in the spring of 1903. He came to this property Aug. 11, 1868, and was born on an adjoining farm Aug. 11, 1856, a son of John and Sarah (Reeder) Gosnell, who were natives of County Cork, Ireland, and Derbyshire, England, respectively...
On July 28, 1878, in Chatham, Ont., George A. Gosnell married Bertha Eastman, and they have had five children: Lena, Mabel, Alma, Myrtle and J. Manson, all at home and all very bright, intelligent young people. Mrs. Gosnell was born in North Gore, near Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 13, 1860, a daughter of John and Emily J. (Ross) Eastman, of Cornwall, Ont., and Wales, respectively. The father came to the County of Kent in 1863, and settled in Orford township, where he was a successful farmer. The mother died in the County of Grey, Ont., April 4, 1866, aged thirty years, and Mr. Eastman now resides in Walkerville, Ontario.
George A. Gosnell remained with his parents until he was nine years old, after which he lived with an uncle, John Reeder, on his present farm, to which he came Aug. 11, 1868. There he was reared by his uncle, and now owns the place to which he succeeded on his uncle's death. It has been much improved and developed under his management. In politics Mr. Gosnell is a Reformer, but as yet has not had time to devote to public affairs. He and his wife are prominent members of the Methodist Church.
Among other very valuable family relics is a pair of little shoes, made of wood and iron, which were worn by Mr. Gosnell's grandmother Reeder, and which he highly prizes. His home is one of the best in the neighbourhood, being finely finished in hardwood, and supplied with gas, running water and furnace, as well as other conveniences. He and his wife have many friends and they are highly esteemed by all who know them.
