4 October 1940; The Brunswick News

Allen Ross, Jr., Popular Youth, Died Last Night
        
        Allen T. Ross, Jr., popular 18-year old Brunswick youth, son of Mr. 
and Mrs. A.T. Ross, passed away at the City Hospital shortly before last 
midnight following an illness of three weeks, and the announcement of his 
death occasioned genuine sorrow among his large number of friends and those of 
his parents.
        Young Ross was a member of the graduating class of Glynn Academy in 
June.  He had looked forward with interest to entering college last month, and 
it was while he was preparing to leave that he was stricken at the suburban 
home of his parents.  After being ill several days pneumonia developed and he 
was removed to the hospital for treatment.  Everything possible was done for 
him, but he failed to respond to treatment, and for the past several days he 
lingered between life and death.
        Unusually popular among all who knew him, young Ross was a youth who 
easily made and maintained friends; he established a fine public school 
record, and was praised by his teachers.  The sympathy of the entire community 
has been extended to the bereaved parents.
        Besides his parents, Allen is survived by one sister, Mrs. Jimmie 
Williams, of Valdosta, and one brother, Robert, aged 8.
        Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning at the 
First Baptist church, to be conducted by the pastor, the Rev. C.C. Davison, 
and burial will be in Palmetto cemetery.  Six young friends, some of whom were 
members of his graduating class, will serve as pallbearers.  They are Anton 
Krauss, Jr., Thomas Davison, Charles Thiot, Clinton Knight, Jr., Pete Sasser, 
and Carl Fowler, Jr.  Funeral arrangements are in charge of Mortician Edo 
Miller.
