Brodie and Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Robertson and Will Brodie , of this city, motored to Wessington, S. D., Wednesday to attend the funeral of Mrs. John Ross, a former resident of Crathorne, Plymouth county, who died July 20. Mrs. Ross was the mother of Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Brodie and is well remembered by older residents of this vicinity. She had attained the age of ninety-two years. Elizabeth McLaughlin was born April 28, 1842, at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and was a descendant of hardy pioneers of Irsh and Scotch extraction, who early peopled the western hemisphere. She grew to young womanhood in her native place and was married to John Ross in 1868. Twelve children were born to their union. Four of them, John, William, Mrs. Mary Moat, of Saskatchewan, Canada, and Mrs. Herbert McGilvray, of Wessington, S. D, preceded her in death. Eight children living are Alex Ross, of Vancouver, B. C.; Mrs. Duncan Robertson, of Le Mars; Robert Ross, of wessington, S. D.; Mrs. M. F. Brodie, of Le Mars; Mrs. A. Manker, of Santa Ana, Calif.; Donald and Angus Ross and Mrs. Will McGilvray, of Wessington, S.D. She also leaves a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mr. Ross died fourteen years ago. Early Settlers Here Mr. and Mrs. Ross came to Le Mars in 1881 and settled on a farm near Crathorne. In 1889 they moved to Louisiana, where they remained for three years and then returned to Plymouth county. About thirty years ago they moved to South Dakota and engaged in farming. The funeral was largely attended by old friends and neighbors and the remains laid to rest beside those of her husband in the Rose Hill cemetery near Wessington. Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel Friday, July 27, 1934 Le Mars, Iowa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obit, maiden name, & place of death provided by Doris H. ~ 12-17-2014 From the Wessington Times Enterprise July 27, 1934 Elizabeth (Betsy) Ross Mrs. John Ross At 9:45 Monday morning, July 23, 1934, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross answered the summons of the grim reaper at the ripe old age of 92 years, 2 months and 25 days. She had been in failing health for some time and on Friday of last week she suffered a paralytic stroke from which she never rallied. Her going was really a blessing since there had been no pleasure in life for her for many months past. She was born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, on April 28, 1842. When 16 years of age she was united in marriage to John Ross. To this union twelve children were born, eleven of them reaching maturity. They came to the United States 53 years ago, locating first in Iowa, but soon moving to Louisiana and a few years later moving back to Iowa in the vicinity of LeMars. In 1900 the family moved to this point, locating on a farm on upper Sand Creek in Rose Hill township, where they made their home until the present time. The husband went on before a number of years ago, and three of the children died since they came here, one of the older sones, Will, and two daughters, Mrs. Art Moat and Mrs. Herb McGillvrey. Mrs. Ross was a woman of the pioneer type, a good wife, a wonderful mother and a helpful neighbor. Her interests were centered around the home, but she was also active, while her health and strength permitted, in the church and community life of her locality. The eight surviving children are: Alex of Vancouver ,B.C.; Mrs. Duncan Robertson of LeMars, Iowa; Mrs. Annie Manker of Anaheim, California; Mrs. Malcom Brodie of LeMars, Iowa; Mrs. William McGillvrey, Robert, Donald and Angus of this locality. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Black were held at the Rose Hill Church and interment made at the cemetery there on Wednesday afternoon. -from the John Ross family archives - submitted by Tim Tone
