MAUD VIRGINIA ROSS
Died Tuesday Evening After Six Years Suffering from Rheumatism

  After six years intense suffering from rheumatism and tuberculosis of 
the joints, Miss Virginia Ross of Washington avenue, fell peacefully 
asleep on Tuesday evening at 11.50 o'clock.  Always patient and 
thinking of others, her last request was that her mother, who has been 
her faithful and most tender nurse the past six years, should go and 
lie down and take her rest, and she would also endeavor to fall asleep.  
It was not long until the poor little sufferer was called away, for 
before the midnight hour arrived, the Master spoke to her and she fell 
asleep.  As stated above, she was patient until the end, and bore her 
sufferings without a murmur or a complaint.  Miss Ross became ill with 
rheumatism about six years ago, and from that time on a great many of 
her days have been spent in the home and in bed.  Recently, she grew 
worse and continued doing so until the end came Tuesday evening.
  Maud Virginia Ross was born at Spruce Creek, February 23, 1891, and 
was aged 20 years, 10 months and 8 days.  When she was eight years old, 
she moved with her mother to Blandsburg, shortly afterwards coming to 
Tyrone, where she has spent the greater portion of her life.  When a 
young girl, she united with the United Brethren church and lived her 
life according to the teachings of that faith.  Her father, Henry B. 
Ross, preceded her to the grave about thirteen years ago.  She is 
survived by her mother, Mrs. Jennie Omdruschka, and the following 
brothers and sisters: Mrs. W. E. Campbell, of Bellwood; Esther Ross, at 
home; William F., John, and Walter Ross, all of Tyrone.
  The funeral services will be held at the home on Washington avenue, 
on Thursday at 12.30 o'clock, in charge of Rev. T. P. Orner, of the 
United Brethren church. The body will be taken to Spruce Creek, thence 
to Franklinville, where interment will take place.
