The Ionia Standard, Friday, September 1, 1905
Supervisor Ross H. Moore, died Friday morning at 6:30 o’clock.  He was thought 
to be showing evidences of improvement all day Thursday, until late, when 
hemorrhages from the lungs seized him.  Mr. Moore was aged 25 years and was 
born in Ionia township.  He was always a vigorous physique, but an illness of 
typhoid fever, which developed some five weeks ago, with lung complications, 
carried him off.  Deceased was of a genial and generous disposition, and 
numbered many warm friends in Ionia who were sorely grieved at the early 
morning announcement of his death.

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Moore, and a brother of Miss Valeria and 
Guy W., all of whom, with the bereaved wife, survive him.  The death at his 
young age comes with awful force upon the parents and friends of the 
deceased.  It is among the mysteries why a man should live to the age of 
promise and then be taken.  We may wonder, but all this is mere speculation.  
We know nothing; we can only hope.

He was a member of the B.P.O. Elks, and was up to sixty days ago a member of 
the Royal Arcanum.  

The funeral of Ross H. Moore was very largely attended from his late home, 
corner of Union St., and Lincoln avenue, on Sunday afternoon, and the service 
was one of more than usual impressiveness.  The discourse at the home was by 
the Rev. W. K. Spencer, D.D., and the music was by the Presbyterian choir.  At 
the grave the beautiful ritual service of the Elks was read, and the music 
here was also furnished by the above choir.  The carriers were brother Elks: 
Henry F. Voelker, Henry J. Horrigan, S. C. L. Brown, Art. A. Baxter, Walter T. 
smith, and Alfred R. Locke.
