Her name is given as Mary Etta, with Susie as a nickname. There is no source given for her middle name (Etta).

Her name is indexed as Susan, but the gravestone says Susie. The middle initial likely stands for her maiden name (Simmons), as was common practice.

Sue Goss married John Reuben "J.R." Brock after her husband had died. She had two children by her first marriage - Johnny and Ella Mae Goss. J.R. had 5 sons by his first marriage to Demmie Cordell who died in 1912 - Henry (abt 1902-1952), Nick (1904-abt 1984), Allison (abt 1906- 1984), Fred (abt 1908-abt 1973), and T.J. (1910-1978). She and J.R. had three children together - Wilson, Bill, and Thersie. She and Bill lived together in White Sulpher, GA after J.R. died in 1942. Then she lived in Gainesville, GA with her son Johnny Goss until she died. Bill was killed in a railroad accident. Sue Goss was a very small woman with jet black hair and played the banjo very well!
(this info was written down & given to his children by John Rubin Brock (1935-2012) before he passed away.)
Note: This information is not entirely accurate, as Susie's 2 children from her first marriage were Bertha and Johnny. Ella Mae Brock (not Goss) was born several years after her first husband died.

- ↑ 10.0 10.1 She appears to have gone by Susie most of her life, but the 1910 census and her daughter Ella's social security record both show that she also went by Mary (which might have been her legal name).
