GROSS, CALISTA (McCURDY)(MRS. JOHN PETER):

   LOWELL JOURNAL, MI; April 9, 1886, page 4:  "So. Boston Breezes.  Old Mrs.
Gross died suddenly on Saturday night, being as well as usual when she retired."

   LOWELL JOURNAL, MI; April 30, 1886, page 1:  "Calista Gross - Calista, wife
of John P. Gross, of South Boston, who died Saturday night, April 4, went to bed
after preparing for an early breakfast, feeling as well as usual.  She slept
soundly until about a quarter past twelve when she aroused with the exclamation
"Oh my head!"  Those were her last workds, and although everything that could be
done to resuscitate her was done she died about one o'clock.  The cause of her
death was undoubtedly apoplexy as she was a large woman and of full habit.  She
was 68 years of age and was born in Erie Co., New York; was married to Mr. Gross
at Batavia, Genessee county, New York, and moved to Michigan in 1852, locating
on the farm on which she died.  She was an amiable neighbor, a devoted wife and
a fond mother, and her sudden and entirely unexpected death was a shock to the
entire community. - Saranac Local."
