Larris A. Ross Passes

Larris A. Ross died at his home in North Lamar about 8:30 p.m. May 2, 1926. 
Rev. G.R. Brown, his pastor assisted by Rev. J.A. Buffington conducted the 
funeral services at New Hope Baptist church in Pike County and he was laid to 
rest in the churchyard there. 

His health failed him several months ago but he and his family, relatives 
hoped for a turn for the better till a few days before the end came. 

He bore his illness in the true spirit of Christian fortitude and patience and 
died as he had lived in peace with everybody. 

His general demeanor in life was the very personification of modesty and 
reserve, faithful to his religious convictions, consistent and considerate in 
his homelife and persevering in toil for a livelihood. 

We meet with such characters only here and there, and rarely appreciate fully 
their worth in due season. 

He united with New Hope Church in August 1916, and probably had not missed but 
two or three regular preaching services in ten years. 

He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Margie, age 3 years, and Annie, 
one week old, father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Ross, of Lamar county, 
a sister Mrs. Bruce Smith, Experiment, Ga., and one brother, Homer Ross, 
Galveston, Texas. - A Friend
