  D. ROSS WYNN, a resident of Philipsburg, Pa., and a representative business 
man of Blue Bell, Pa., is extensively interested in brick manufacturing here and 
at other points.  He was born at Woodland, Clearfield county, Pa., September 5, 
1872, and is a son of William H. and Margaret G. (Ross) Wynn.
  William H. Wynn was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., and was a son of James 
Ross and Mary Ann (Bitner) Wynn.  Prior to 1870, when he moved to Woodland, he 
had been a railroad man.  In the fall of 1899 he came to Blue Ball and with his 
son, D. Ross, and his son-in-law, James H. France, started the building of the 
brick works here, which have been continuously operated by them since January, 
1900.  William H. Wynn married Margaret G. Ross, who was also born in 
Westmoreland county, a daughter of Daniel Ross, and the following children were 
born to them:  Mary and Margaret, twins, the latter of whom is deceased, the 
former being the wife of Alexander Patterson; Cora, who is the wife of James H. 
France; D. Ross; John and Arthur, both of whom are deceased; Lewis; Ethel, who 
is deceased; Jessie, who is the wife of P. E. Ferguson; and Vera, who resides at 
home.
  D. Ross Wynn was educated in the public schools and at Duff's Commercial 
College, at Pittsburg.  He has been connected with the brick industry ever since 
going into business and in addition to his interests at Blue Ball, is concerned 
with a brick plant at Sandy Ridge, Center county, and one at Claysburg, in Blair 
county.  He is also vice-president of the Moshannon National Bank of 
Philipsburg.  He is an enterprising and successful business man and a useful and 
reputable citizen.
  In 1896, Mr. Wynn was married to Miss May L. Klare, a daughter of A. J. Klare, 
and they have four children:  Vivian, Lewis, William and Frank.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Wynn attend the Methodist Episcopal church.  He is identified fraternally with 
the Elks and the Masons, both at Philipsburg.  In politics he is a Republican 
but is no seeker for office.
