John L. Goss owned a granite quarry, the John L. Goss Quarry Company on Crotch Island. Quarrying on Crotch Island began about 1870 and continued until the end of World War II. It was reopened in 1965 to take out stone for the John F. Kennedy Memorial at Arlington Cemetery. It is now operated on a limited basis by The New England Stone Company largely for the manufacture of decorative items.
