                                                            DIED

    At her residence, “Oak Hill,” Jefferson county, Miss., on Monday, the 19th May, 1851, at 7½ o’clock, A. M., Mrs. Jane Brown, widow of the late I. J. W. Ross, and last surviving child of the late Capt., Isaac Ross, aged sixty-five years and seven months.
    If to die in the full belief, resignation, trust and faith in the blessed promises of our Creator and Redeemer; to endure patiently all the painful afflictions of her last illness; to have been devotedly watched over by her numerous family of children and grand children, should not only assuage the pangs of this life, but lighten our sorrows on parting with them for a happier home; then, indeed has the loss of this time-honored and affectionate mother caused a number of sorrowing hearts to mourn her sad, but not untimely end.

PRIVATE ROBERT ROSS, JR.

Private Robert Ross, Jr., an infantryman serving with A. E. F. in France, died there Sept. 30th, 1918. He was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ross of this county, and had been in France several months. He belonged to the branch of the Ross family that came to America in the early days and settled on the James River. They suffered many hardships and many of them were killed in the massacre of 1622, those who survived drifted on to South Carolina, and the immediate branch of which this soldier was a descendant came from South Carolina to Jefferson County, Miss., in 1805, so we have given up a descendant of one of the oldest families in the county. Robert Ross, Jr., was born and grew into manhood only a few miles from where these early settlers made their home, and the years of his life stand as credit to worth-while living. He gave his life for his country.—Fayette Chronicle.
