Wilson County, Tennessee
ROSS, H.P. - Died at his home in Washington county, Arkansas on the
evening of the 7th inst., Mr. H.P. Ross. His disease was paralysis of nearly
six years standing, during which time he bore his afflictions with Christian
fortitude until released by the hand of the Almighty. In his death the Church
{M.E.S.) has lost one of her purest and best members; his wife a devoted
husband and his children an affectionate father. Mr. Ross was born in Wilson
county, Tenn. and died in the 69th year of his age. During the 30 years
of his life spent in this country he won the esteem and friendship of all who
knew him. [Fayetteville Democrat 1/15/1876]
