Surnames: Cross, Leary, Hall, Haga Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5YB.2ACE/2566 Message Board Post: It was, indeed, a very great shock to the people of Cheyenne and community when they learned that Mrs. D.V. Cross had passed from life on Sunday evening, November 18, 1928 at about seven o'clock at the Tisdal hospital in Elk City where she had undergone an operation just five days prior. Although not well, Mrs. Cross had been one of the active women of the town until the time when she went to the hospital in the hopes that an operation might enable her to recover he health. After the operation she seemed to be doing nicely until Satuday night when she began to suffer and the pain grew more intense, finally sapping all of her vitality. Ruth Harriet Leary was born at the family home south of Cheyenne October 27, 1900. She was married to D.V. Cross of this city May 2, 1920. To this union one daughter, Nellie Ann, was born some four years ago. Besides the husband and baby girl she leaves her mother, Mrs. Nellie Leary of Cheyenne; three brother, Graham, Jack and Bob, all of Cheyenne; two sisters Mrs. Kate Hall of Cheyenne and Mrs. Nellie Haga of New Mexico; and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. Cheyenne has never produced a better loved woman than Ruth Cross. It seemed she possesed all off the qualities that make one lovable; a kind disposition always willing to lend a helpin hand; a keen intellect that gave her foresight; a devoted wife and mother and a favorite with her brothers and sisters; taking an active part in public affairs her wonderful personality caused her influence to be felt in whatever she participated. Her being called from such an active life has left her relatives and friends wondering "upon whose shoulders her mantle will fall". At the time of her seeming untimely death she was vice president of the Platonic Club of Cheyenne and superintendent of the Intermediate department of the Methodist Sunday School. She united with the Presbyterian church in 1920 to which faith she held at the time of her death. The large auditorium of the Methodist church of this city could not hold the crowd that came to pay tribute to one whom they had known as a friend. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon with Rev. Davis of Sayre, formerly pastor of the Methodist church in this city, preaching the sermon in which he paid great tribute to the deceased and pointed out that the memory of such a life is to be cherished. The body was laid to rest in the Cheyenne cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills county, Oklahoma beneath a floral covered mound. The many friends of the family extend sympathy as they mourn with relatives.

Cross of Cheyenne died Monday morning, December 12, 1932 at 7 a.m. Dr. Cross had been in poor health for several moths but had continued his practice of medicine administering to the ills of other while he, himsel, was hardly able to go. He suffered an attack of influenza and later a clot on the brain caused a paralysis from which he never recovered. Many skilled physicians were called in consulation but were unable to hold forth even the slightest hope for his recovery, for a period of ten days before death claimed him. Coming to Cheyenne with his parents when a small boy, shortly after the opening, Poly Cross, as he was know, pioneered here. This pioneer spirit was a charactristic that he always possessed, and was one of his outstanding traits as a physician, as he was always willing to endure any hardship to make a professional call to relieve distress. In his last days he sacrificed his own health, because he felt so urgently the need of his services. Poly Cross was one of the big hearted, generous type of men, one who never failed his friends. He was one upon whom his friends leaned for support. His influecne touched the lives of many folks in Roger Mills County who mourn his going. All business in Cheyenne paused Tuesday afternoon in respect to the memory of one of its outstanding citizens. Although the weather was extremely bad, the crowd could not find standing room in the Baptist Church of this city, where his funeral was held, and a great throng stood outside in the snow.

He was converted and joined the First Baptist Church of Cheyenne in the year of 1913. His membership is still with this church. So kind and loving was his disposition that he was loved by all who knew him. He was the son of Mrs. Lillian Cauble Cross and John D. Cross of Cheyenne.

So urgent was the need in the great flu epidemic in 1918, that he was called home from Medical school by the local doctors to help care for those in distress. He willingly left his work and came. Through drifted snow, where cars could not travel, he walked, or rode horse back to visit those afflicted with this terrible disease. Much suffering was rlieved and many, many lives aved by his watchful care at that time. His services were gien even after he was stricken with his last and only serious illness. It has been siad by one who knew his worht, that Roger Mills County would never suffer a greater loss than that of losing Dr. Cross.
