Cora (Moore) Ross – July 1852 – January 28, 1913

OLDEST NATIVE OF OSAGE IS DEAD

Osage friends have just learned of the death of Mrs. A. C. Ross, for a number of years a resident of this city.

Mr. Ross was at one time editor of the Osage News. Mrs. Ross was the first white child born here, a number of years before the town received its present name.
It was then called Cora in honor of Mrs. Ross who was then Cora Moore.

From Osage, Mr. and Mrs. Ross moved to De Moines and Mr. Ross served as deputy superintendent of public instruction under R. C. Barret.

Mrs. Ross was a very highly esteemed lady. She died at Long Beach, California and her body will be brought here for burial.
