Charles A. Ross, former Madison county school teacher, died Friday April 12th, at his home in Great Falls, Mont., after an extended illness. Mr. Ross who was 65 years of age, had visited in Winterset and Madison county last year, and had many friends and distant relatives here.

He was married to Cora Lee and they were the parents of three children. They moved to Great Falls nineteen years ago, and Mrs. Ross died there.

He later remarried, and he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mayme Ross, and the three sons: Lee of Honolulu, Maurice of Kalispell and Harry of Polson. He also leaves two brothers, Walter Ross of Lorimor, Robert Ross of Des Moines, and a sister, Mrs. Glen Callison of Grand Junction, Colorado.
