Missionary to India for the United Church of The Brethern.
History of the Church of the Brethren in Indiana
Otho Winger
Brethren Pub. House, 1917:
Amos W. Ross was born near Sidney, Indiana, September 27, 1879. His father, Robert Ross, was a native of Clark County, Ohio. His mother was Susan Snell, a sister to the Snell brothers, four of whom have been ministers in the Church of the Brethren. Amos had good home and church environment from a boy. At 17 he entered Manchester College, where he soon confessed Christ under the preaching of Elder T. T. Myers. Soon after he was called to the ministry by the Spring
Creek congregation. From 1899 to 1903 he attended Mt. Morris College. Here he met and married Flora J. Nickey, daughter of A. J. Nickey, of Nebraska. To them have been born three daughters.
In 1903 he accepted the pastorate at Sterling, Colorado. One year here showed his energy and success as a pastor. In 1904 he was asked by the General Mission Board to go to India. He and his wife cheerfully accepted and sailed for their future field of service.
In India he has been a leader. He has large visions and ability to realize them. At Yyara, where he was stationed many years, he started well both the educational and industrial work. After his return from his first furlough he was stationed at Bulsar, the pioneer station of the India field. Here he has forged ahead with his characteristic zeal and energy, already inaugurating some movements that are likely to result in great things for the mission cause.
