Obituary- Ross, Elizabeth

Elizabeth Ross
Mrs. Elizabeth Ross died at 11 o’clock Monday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ira T. Hopkins, on north Main street aged 80 years, 4 months, 5 days. Her death followed an illness that became serious last Friday, although she had been in declining health for several years.

Mrs. Ross had made her home with the Hopkins family for the past seven years and they had been most devoted in her care and considerate in providing for her comfort and well being.

Mrs. Ross was a native of Gillespieville, Ohio, where she was born October 28, 1842. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Ault. She was united in marriage to Adam Ross, September 13, 1866, at Gillespieville, Ohio. This union was blessed with five children – three sons and two daughters, of whom only the latter, Mrs. Alice Hopkins and Mrs. Ella Porter, both of this city, survive her. Other surviving relatives are her sister, Mrs. Celina Ross, of Wamego, and three grandchildren.

In 1885 she and her family moved from Ohio to Wamego and in 1890 they came to Rossville. Mr. Ross passed away September 13, 1915, which was the 19th anniversary of their wedding day.

Funeral services were held yesterday at 2 p.m. in the Methodist church conducted by Rev. H. P. Basquin, whose sermon was taken from Luke 24: 1-25. The body was laid to rest in Rossville cemetery.

Out-of-town relatives and friends present for the funeral included: Celina Ross, Wamego; Jess Ross, Manhattan, Jim Ross, Belvue, nephews; Lee Ross, nephew, and family, Topeka; Mr. and Mrs. Dick Porter and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McGehee and daughter, grandchildren from Topeka; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hopkins, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hopkins, Mrs. Mary Newberry, all of Topeka.
