Jeffersonian Republican. (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853: March 30, 1842
Brother Reese - It becomes our painful duty to report the death of our beloved
brother Hugh Ross, an elder in the Methodist Protestant Church and a member of the
Pennsylvania Conference. He departed this life August 17th, aged 66 years. Seldom
has it fallen to the lot of an Annual Conference to record the death of so worthy a
brother - a man of strong mind - great literary acquirements - very plain and humble
- of gentlemanly manners - liberal in his sentiments - of sterling worth - his heart
was, as was his house, open to his brethren. Especially can the ministry testify to
his generosity and hospitality. He was a man of God, and labored cheerfully and
faithfully for the salvation of souls... He seemed to have had a presentiment of his
death, and often observed, "My Father is about to call me home." He preached his
last sermon in Binghamton, Broome county, N. Y. So deep was he affected by the
weight of his subject after speaking nearly forty minutes, he sank on the seat
exhausted unable to proceed... In his death, the Church has lost an able minister -
Conference a worthy member - Society a valuable citizen - his wife a tender and
loving husband - his children, a kind and affectionate father...
