Separate article on same page as obits The many friends of Miss Nellie May ROSS will learn with sorrow that she succumbed to tuberculosis in Los Angeles, Calif., September 2, 1902. Notice of interment in this issue. Miss ROSS was born at Petroleum Center, Pa., and was in her 27th year. She was a member of Mount Prospect Presbyterian church. She is the last of a family of four to wither under the breath of the "great white plague." Miss ROSS had a large circle of friends who esteemed her highly. She had many acquaintances here and in the surrounding community, and all the readers of the Record have been delighted with her entertaining and instructive letters which we have been permitted to publish from time to time, descriptive of California's climate, custom and scenery. She was a gifted and talented writer with the rare faculty of drawing true portraits in words; she was a good musician and a skillful artist. Her health had been gradually declining for years, yet she always seemed to be endowed with indomitable energy and sought to please others, we fear at the cost of her own strength. She was sweet in disposition and gentle and charming I manner, and was held in the highest regard by all who knew her. Her natural buoyancy of spirit kept her outward demeanor cheerful, while she confessed to her intimate associates that she felt her doom approaching. She sought to regain health by various changes of climate, visiting in turn the pine woods of Michigan, the mountains at Asheville, N. C., and finally the southern coast of California. Certain improvements followed each change, but the inevitable end came at last. While sensitive and spirited, she never complained through all her illness and those who cared for her in her last hours declared that "association with her had done them good." Could man write or mortal wish higher eulogy? Many will miss her and mourn her demise, yet all know that our loss is her gain, and that she rests in peace. She was weary with pain and weakness and prayed for the end, and 'sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, she approached the grave like one who wraps the drapery of her couch about her and lies down to pleasant dreams."
