    Simon Ross, an attorney-at-law, and a veteran of the World war, is now
engaged in a general practice at Cincinnati, where he has held several official
positions in connection with his profession. He was born at Newport, Ky.,
February 17, 1883, but was brought to Cincinnati in childhood, and here attended
the public schools, being graduated from the Woodward High School in 1901. He
took his legal training in the law department of the University of Cincinnati,
and was graduated therefrom in 1905 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws.
Immediately following his admission to the bar Mr. Ross was associated with the
firm of Swing & Morse, Morse, Turtle & Harper, Kramer & Kramer, and finally with
Morse, Tuttle & Ross and Tuttle & Ross. He belongs to the Hamilton County Bar
Association, and the Business Men's Club. A Mason, he has attained to the
Thirty-second degree, Scottish Rite. Mr. Ross has rendered official service that
is recognized as valuable for he was in the county prosecutor's office for six
years, under Messrs. Pogue and Campbell, and resigned to enlist in the World
war. He was in the Second Officers' Training Camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
receiving his commission as captain and later was assigned to Company K, Three
Hundred and Fifty-second Infantry, Eighty-eighth Division, in November, 1917.
After being at Camp Dodge, Mr. Ross sailed overseas August 18, 1918, and
remained abroad until May, 1919, receiving his honorable discharge May 22, 1919.
He belongs to Bentley Post American Legion. Since his return home he has been
commissioned Colonel of the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Infantry, United
States National Guard, the successors of the "Old First Regiment." He is a man
of firm convictions, settled purpose, practical in his aims, whether as an
attorney or man, and has, therefore, advanced steadily to a high and substantial
professional position, having been effectual also in the realization of those
projects which are advanced by good citizens of modern tendencies.
