She later moved to Albion where she made her home until the time of her decease. She was a good home maker and a kind, sympathetic and true wife and mother. She was always mindful of the comforts and the welfare of her family and a friend and helper to the sick and needy. Her life was quiet and unassuming and characterized by truth, honesty and purity. Her gentle manner and kindly disposition made her much beloved by all who knew her. In the year 1883 she was converted and united with the First Baptist church of Albion, and has lived a faithful and consistent Christian life until her death. In the death of Mrs. Ross this community has lost a useful and worthy citizen.
