Tribute of Respect.

Mrs. Margaret G Ross, whose funeral took place on Friday of last week, was born at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pa., March 7, 1837. Her parents moved to Morrow County, Ohio, when she was three years old.  She was married to Rev. John Sample Ross at her home in Ohio, July 4, 1854.  They moved to southeastern Iowa, where they were engaged in Christian work in the United Presbyterian church for a number of years.  From Iowa, they moved to the northern part of Kansas in 1880 and there engaged in missionary work.  Her husband died in 1887.  In1890 she moved with the younger members of her family to Sterling, where she has lived until the time of her death, February 18, 1898.

She was a woman of most worthy Christian character, unobtrusive in her manners, kindly and self-sacrificing in spirit, and ready for any good work- a valued member of the United Presbyterian Church.

All her living children were with her during her last days. Mr. Wilson Ross, Mrs. Lindsay, Harry, Amy, and Cora. Two of her sisters, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Balmer, and her son-in-law James Lindsay were present at the funeral.  She has many friends who will miss her, and who extend their sympathy to the family and relatives in this their deep sorrow.
