Mrs. Elizabeth Ross,
who was laid to rest in Graceland on Monday afternoon, was born in Pintre, Brunant, Cardiganshire, Wales, on Sept. 8, 1833, the daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth Binks. The family was English, though at that time residing in Wales.
When 14 years of age Elizabeth came to the U. S. of America, living first in Buffalo, N. Y. for one year, and then removed to New Diggings, Wis., where in 1852 she was united in marriage to Mr. John Ross.
In 1863 Mr. and Mrs. Ross settled on a farm in the town of Waldwick. On Sept. 1, 1892, Mr. Ross was taken to the other life and for the following 23 years Grandma Ross, with her children's cooperation, carried forward the activities connected with a large farm.
About six years ago Mrs. Ross became a resident of this city and with her son Alexander lived in the home secured for her on Maiden street.
Seven children were born to the family, all of whom survive, and with several of the grandchildren were present at the funeral, viz:
Alexander, Mrs. Uriah James, Mrs. James Jackson, Mrs. George Alton, Mrs. Henry Weise, John and Leslie A.
In an early day Mrs. Ross united with the Primitive Methodist church at New Diggings and was an active worker among the young. She delighted to talk of those days, and most feelingly referred to the joy she had experienced in the Christian fellowship of those other times.
During her residence in Waldwick she was an attendant of the Methodist church of that village, and coming to this city was a parishioner of Rev. W. J. C. Bond. For most of the six years she was borne down by the weight of the infirmities of old age, and was gradually losing the great power that had characterized her life. She was fortunate to be surrounded by her children, who could minister to her needs, and comfort her in her closing days. After a siege of several months of severe illness the end came on Friday, March 5.
The funeral occurred on Monday and was conducted by Rev. W. J. C. Bond, assisted by Rev. Mr. Cookson of Waldwick.
