Tyrone
MISS LINA ROSS

  At the home of her cousin, Mrs. O. S. Fleming, of Bellwood, Miss Lina 
Ross died of a complication of diseases at 2.05 Wednesday afternoon.  
Miss Ross had been in failing health for some years and a few weeks ago 
was taken from her home, 133 West Fourteenth street, Tyrone, to 
Bellwood in the hope that the change might prove beneficial to her 
health.  For a little while she seemed to improve, but could not 
recover.  Miss Ross was a daughter of Kephart and Amelia Ross, and was 
born at Tyrone, May 10, 1854.  She was a graduate of the Methodist 
Episcopal hospital nurses training school at Philadelphia and for many 
years practiced her profession in Washington, D.C.  She was a faithful 
member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Washington.
  Miss Ross was the last of a family of ten and her closest surviving 
relatives are two nieces and a nephew - Mrs. J. F. Schmidt, of Tyrone; 
Celia and J. Easton Ross, of Clearfield.
    The body was prepared for burial by Funeral Director G. E. Fuoss, 
of Bellwood, and will be taken to her late home this afternoon at 1 
o'clock.  Funeral service will be held Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, 
conducted by Rev. G. M. Glenn.  Interment in Grandview cemetery.
