wife of John W. Ross – daughter of Curtis and Hannah Lane – unmarked grave, per Linda McColl Rodgers research [see "History of the Ross Family of Mossy Point"]

Obituary of Mrs. John W. Ross, written by: Henry T. Gregory, Arkansas Methodist, Oct 20, 1897 (page 15 Column 1-2).

Hannah C. Ross, (whose maiden name was Lane) was born in Monroe County, Tennessee, May 2, 1825. Professed religion in 1840, and joined the Methodist Church. Was married to Rev. J.W. Ross, Sept. 7, 1845. Moved to Arkansas in 1859. Departed this life in Searcy, White County, May 4 1897, being 72 years and 2 days old at the time of her death. She died suddenly: went to bed in usual health, but died some time during the night. It was a terrible shock to her husband and children. She was a true and devoted Christian, a kind wife and a loving mother. I have known the family over 30 years. Their house was always the home of the preacher. Many preachers who read these lines will remember to have been fed, warmed and comforted at that home. She loved her church and was always there when it was so she could be. Owing to failing eyesight for several years she could not attend Church regularly, but lived in sweet communion with her God. Brother Ross, while he misses his loved companion, bows in humble submission to the will of God. He seems to be waiting for the Lord to say, "It is enough, come up higher. "To the husband and children I would say, be faithful "even unto death," then you will meet to part no more.
