Yuma Pioneer - December 23, 1943

Death Claims Mrs. Grace Cross at 48 on Friday Morning

        Death ended a long period of suffering for Mrs. Grace Cross
Friday morning as she expired at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Gearhart. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the
Presbyterian church by Rev. Frederick Nichol and burial was in the
Yuma cemetery. The Ritchey Funeral Home had charge of the
arrangements.

        Mary Grace Cross, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Gearhart, was born on September 2, 1895, near Summerfield, Kansas, and
departed this life at Yuma December 17, 1943, at the age of 48 years,
three months and 15 days.

        On November 26, 1912, she was  united in marriage to Clarence
Cross at Imperial, Nebraska, moving to a farm on the Arickaree
northwest of Joes, where she had since resided. To this union two
children were born: a daughter, Luella, who preceded her in death in
1936, and a son, Harlan, who served as a lieutenant in the United
States army for four years and was honorably discharged on August 3,
1943. Since that time he had been constantly at the bedside of his
mother. Her husband, Clarence, also preceded her in death in 1934 as
did one brother, George, who died in 1937, and one sister, Irene, who
died in 1942.

        She leaves to mourn her passing one son, Harlan, of Joes, her
father and stepmother of Yuma, two brothers, Charlie of Wray, and Jim
of Cimmarron, Kansas; tow sisters, Mrs. Harry Cecil of Cope, and Mrs.
John Cook of Yuma, and a host of close relatives and friends.

Grace Cross; and also for the flowers that were contributed to her
