Attempting to sort out the family of William Paris ROSS. Thus far, I have him listed as born ca. 1865 in Floyd Co., VA; died at age 74 in Flat Top, WV. He married Romanza Bell LILLY on 18 June 1887 in WV. Romanza Bell LILLY was the daughter of John E. LILLY and Julina A. LILLY (same surname as husband), and was born 19 June 1867 in Mercer Co., WV. >From the obituary: Mr. William Paris ROSS was a farmer; he died in his home following a prolonged ilness with Bright's disease. He was buried in the family cemetery at Flat Top, Mercer Co., WV. >From the obituary for Mr. William Paris ROSS, I've located the following names of survivors, and wish to learn the given names of these individuals: *Mrs. R. B. ROSS (this is likely Romanza Bell, but the 1997 edition of the Lilly Family History lists her death as 1892). *Mrs. H. E. CREWS (a daughter) *Mrs. Paris I. LILLY (a daughter) *Mrs. Sexton STOVALL (a daughter) *Mrs. O. T. LILLY (a daughter) *Mrs. Elvin MEADOWS (a daughter) *Mrs. Lester FINK (a daughter) *Mrs. Jack WOOD (a daughter) *Mrs. Theordore HATCHERS (a daughter) *Mrs. Vaughan SMITH (a daughter) Also survived by one son: Mr. W. P. ROSS, Jr. of Flat Top, WV, and one sister, Miss Nancy ROSS of Flat Top, WV. Predeceased by daughter: *Mrs. Karl BRAMMER, formerly of Barn, WV (died 15 years before her father). BTW: the obituary was found in an old scrapbook once belonging to my great- aunt, Bessie (Lilly) LOGAN. Bessie saved obits, but often failed to incorporate dates on each obit, so I cannot give an exact date of death for Mr. ROSS. Any assistance with naming the daughters of William Paris ROSS, Sr., and Romanza Bell LILLY would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Lainie Hendrix
