Obituary

Lester C. Ross was born Dec. 17, 1877, and died March 25, 1909, in Clarinda, Ia., aged 31 years, 2 months and 28 days, the cause of his death being diabetes. He was married on Nov. 7, 1903 to Miss Nellie Gammel, of Elliot, Ia., and moved to Winterset.

Besides the loving wife who is left to mourn his loss, there are two infant daughters, one aged 13 months and one 11 days, two brothers, one sister residing at Corning, Ia., and one sister in Des Moines. The deceased was converted at the age of 18 years and united with the Blue Grove Church of Christ south of Corning, later removing his membership to the fellowship of the Church of Christ at Winterset, where his wife and little ones expect to make their home. The sympathy and prayers of the membership of the church go out to and in behalf of the poor young widow and her fatherless children.

The funeral services were held Saturday March 27, in the Church of Christ at Corning, conducted by Rev. Ida Menagh, assisted by Rev. Crewdson.
