    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ross, Demuth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wdB.2ACE/360 Message Board Post: Hello, I am looking for any information about my great-grandafather Harvey Oscar Ross and his family. They moved to Pennington County between 1905 and 1910 (they appear in the 1910 Federal Census). Harvey's widow Mary Elizabeth Demuth Ross moved the family to Illinois after his death. Oral family history says that Harvey was killed when cutting through a railroad switching yard and was struck by a boxcar. He was a preacher and was returning from a visit to a parishoner. I'm interested in any documentation, such as a newspaper article. I also understand that the winter of 1911/12 was brutal. Any inof available? Two of Harvey Oscar Ross' brothers moved to the Wall area about the same time (they also appear in the 1910 census): Jesse S. and Amanda V. Ross Allen B. and Ada M. Ross Are there any descendants still living in the area? Thanks, Dave Ross
