At the age of 17, she became a member of the High Hill church and remained a loyal and devout member until her death. Her friends and neighbors say she was a grand woman and such a good neighbor.
On March 14, 1890 she was united in marriage to John Ross. They settled on a farm in the High Hill neighborhood, where they were blessed with a family of six children, one having preceded them in death.
Mr. Ross passed away six years ago and since that time Mrs. Ross had made her home with her daughters. She passed away at the home of her daughter Mrs. H. S. Du Bose of Wichita Falls, Texas, July 29, 1946 at the age of 85 years, 1 month and 3 days.
