R. R. ROSS. farmer and stock-raiser; P. O. Plymouth; was born in Auburn Township, Crawford Co., Ohio. Nov. 25,
1832. He is a son of A. C. and Celia (Emmons) Ross, who were the parents of four children - Phoebe A., Melissa,
one that died in infancy, and Royal R.. Royal is the only one living. Mr. Ross biography will be found in connection
with the biography of A. C. Moss. in another part of this work. Mrs. Ross, mother of our subject , was born April 8,
1802, in New York. She died as she lived, a conscientious Christian. Her death occurred in Auburn Township in
1836. Royal R. lived on a farm until he was 23 years old, and on the 4th of October, 1860, was united in marriage
with Mary A., daughter of Adam and Susanna (Harley) Aumend, and by her had five children -Emmons, W., born

Auburn Township. Both of these parents are the descendants of old and honored settlers, who came into the
wilderness in search of a home. The present condition of their children and grandchildren attest the success with
which they were met. Mr. Ross is a Republican in politics, and he and wife, are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. They own 160 acres of highly improved land, where they live happily together, making no
pretensions, but having the respect and good-well of all their friends and neighbors.
