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. Wilkins and Ed. H. DtCamp.

We wish the new establishment all
th« good fortune it deserves.

neys and bladder are out of order.

passages. It corrects inafdllty to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of be
ing compelled to get up many times during
tlie night to urinate. Tfie mild and extraor
dinary effect of Swamp-Hoot is soon realized.
