Murray & Roper's, by those two gentlemen, assisted by Messrs. Mercer & Hill. Dr. Conway, who saw the body, was under the impression that death was caused by disease of the heart. The body was soon after conveyed, on a bier, to the late home of the deceased, on Broad, near the corner of 20th st. Mr. Goff was salesman and foreman for Samuel S. Cottrell & Co., and was formerly of the firm of Otey & Goff. He leaves a widow and two children. Prior to his sudden dissolution, he gave no evidence of sickness; on the contrary, he is said, yesterday morning to have been in unusually good spirits. Mrs. Goff, his widow, was at Trinity Church, attending a funeral, when the distressing news was brought to her, and thus, as it were, stepped from a house of mourning to one of woe and desolated hopes.
