Newspaper - "AUTO ACCIDENT ENDS IN DEATH ~ George J. Ross Dies as Result of Injuries Sustained in Collision ~ END CAME IN MIDST OF HOPE ~ Recovery Was Anticipated up to Last Night, When His Condition Grew Suddenly Worse.
George J. Ross died shortly after 7 o'clock this morning, at his residence, 321 D. street, from injuries received in a collision between a buggy and an auto, Wednesday evening. He never spoke after being picked up from the pavement to which he was forcibly thrown, and though he at times during yesterday and late night seemed to realize what was going on around him, he did not regain complete consciousness. Strong hopes were entertained for his recovery, until late in the night, when conditions developed that indicated the death to follow.
The auto car that caused the accident was owned and driven by Dr. H. N. Mayo. He and his wife were going westward on First avenue, when the machine collided with a buggy, northward bound, in which Mr. Ross was riding with his brother-in-law, Heber J. Romney, the latter's son, Heber J. Jr., and James Wardrop. It was about 7:30 o'clock in the evening and rain was falling at the time. Mr. Romney was driving rather slowly up the hill, while Dr. Mayo was making fast time on down grade, at right angles. The machine struck the rear wheels of the smaller vehicle and its occupants were thrown into the street. Mr. Ross was picked up unconscious. Mr. Romney had a badly brusied knee, while the others were practically unhurt.
MAN OF MANY FRIENDS ~ Excerpts: friends limited only by bounds of acquaintanceship; born in Twentieth ward lived there all his life; well known throughout the city and was loved and respected by all; innately good, exemplary, quiet, unassuming, went about saying kind words and perfoming good deeds, kind and considerate.
FAMILY SURVIVES HIM. ~ Mr. Ross was born Oct. 5, 1869, and was therefore just approaching his thirty-ninth year. He was a son of James D. and Sarah E. Ross, the father dying 30 years ago, [Oct. 1, 1878]. Mr. Ross married Miss Mary Romney [Dec. 10, 1896 Salt Lake Temple (FHL Film (429056), Book G, Page 326, #6249], a daughter of Bishop George Romney, who, with four children, survives him. The names of the children are: Vilate, aged 11; Mary, 9; Sarah, 6, and George J., Jr., 2 1/2 years old. Mr. and Mrs. Ross were devotedly attached to each other and the wife is almost prostrated with grief.
The sorrow in the family is deeply shared by the aged mother of deceased, who owing to total blindness has not looked upon the face of her son for 20 years. She was at his bedside when the end came. He is survived also by a brother, Charles J. Ross of Ogden, and by the following sister, Mrs. Sarah Randall, Mrs. Louise Clayton and Mrs. Grace Feveryear.
The funeral will be held Sunday, commencing at 12:15 o'clock, in the Twentieth ward meetinghouse."
