On last Sunday afternoon about three o’clock Mr. John \V. Ross, Sr., passed away after an illness of sev eral week’s duration at the advanced age of seventy-four years. Deceased was one of the best known men in this section, having lived in-this neighborhood all his life. Ho was a useful citizen, a kind and gentle fath er and a devoted husband. *Tncle John,” as the younger generation respectfully uddressedl him, was a man of strong conviction and al though he did not make a profession of religion until about twelve months ago he was always in for what he conceived to be the right and man fully contended for his views. Sever al months ago he experienced a se vere attack of sickness from which he never fully recovered. His unusual will power enabled him to be up and about afterwards but he was never really strong. .MV. Ross was a most, progressive citizen. He accumulated considera ble property but made no display of his wealth. Even in his old age he was progressive and up-to-date, hav ing erected in Gaffney within the last year a number of cottages. His long life was devoted to farming and he made a pronounced success of it al though in later years he did not push it. us he once did. He realized that he was getting old and preferred to live in case. He had a very active mind and took a great deal of inter est in local politics. He was one of the original farmer’s alliancemen but withdrew when the alliance entered politics. John Wyles Ross was 'born on Broad river, about font miles from Gaffney and near where ho died. He was a descendant of one of the oldest families in this section. His grand father came from Scotland to this country and settled in Virginia after ward moving to South Carolina and was one of the pioneers. His remains rest about one mile from Gaffney on the old Dr. J. G. Gaffney place. His father lies buried on Broad river. Mr. Ross spent all his life in this section. In August 1811, he married Miss Dulcena B. Moore, a daughter of Jacob B. Moore, who lived in that section of York county which is now a portion of Cherokee county. The union was a most happy one. To them were born eleven children, three of whom are dead. Those who sur vive are J. B. Ross, sheriff of Chero- | kee county, M. L. Ross, of Shelby, I X. C., John \V. Jr., E. R. and \Y. H. Ross, Mrs. A. Jane Gaffney, Mrs. M. E. Hamlin, of this county, and Mrs. L. O. Holcomb, of Madison, X. C. The funeral services were conduct ed from the late homeof the deceased Monday afternoon hy the Rev. F. C. Hickson and was one of the largest attended funerals ever held in the county. After the funeral services the body was conveyed to Providence graveyard and all that was earthy of John Wyles Ross was gently laid to reft by loving and tender hands. The widow and children have the heart felt sympathy of the entire com munity. The pall bearers were: A. C. Pridmore, X. II. Littlejohn, J^vs.’Lit tlejohn, F. G. Stacy. J. D. Jones, li. M.
