Mr. Samuel Ross, who was stricken so suddenly in Scott’s grocery last Friday, died without recovering consciousness, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. Y. Ross, just after midnight Sunday morning, March 20. Mr. Ross was born in Washington county, Penn. March 26, 1832. When he was about two years old his parents moved to Goshocton county, O., where he lived nearly thirty years. Here he became acquainted with and married Miss Katie Ellen Karr, who has been his companion for forty-two years, and who remains to mourn his loss. To them were born four children, two boys who died in infancy and two daughters, Mrs. G. V. Ross, of this city, and Mrs. W. D. Hudgel, also a resident of this county.
He came to Iowa in 1864, living in Black Hawk township until 1883 when he moved to Fairfield. Mr. Ross was a consistent member of the Congregational church, a kind husband and parent, a thoughtful and sympathetic neighbor, and industrious citizen. His illness, which came so suddenly, is believed to have been painless, and he passed quietly away just at the ushering in of the Sabbath. He was about sixty-six years old.
