	Ernest Lee Richards, 33 years old, a farm hand for the Howard Brothers of Plainview who had lived here less than 3 weeks, was killed instantly here Sat. night when the bed of a hydraulic truck fell and crushed his head between the bed and platform of the truck.
	The hydraulic bed of the truck, containing between 300 and 400 gallons of gasoline, was raised when the young farm worker left the brothers in the field to go to the truck. The brothers, for whom he had worked only since coming to Tulia, previously had warned him that the hydraulic lift's controls in the cab of the truck had broken, and that it was necessary to lower the bed from a position beneath the truck. Richards chose what he thought was an easier method, releasing the mechanism by sticking his head and shoulders in between the cab and bed of the truck.

ROSS, Mrs. Ella, Roy, Ruby Ethel and Thomas D.
	There come times in the history of families when afflictions strike them beyond the mind of man to understand the ways of divine providence. Poor frail man in helpless impotency gazes into the way of God's providence with mortals, but he gazes in vain trying to find a solution, and falls back on the teaching of the Book to rest his disquieted soul till God sees fit to reveal to him His secrets; "What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." In the white light of eternity, when we know as we are known, we shall see clearly why God has dealt thus and thus with us. 
	In the results that have followed the influenza in our town, of all the families that have been attacked by the dreaded disease, no family that has been a victim of its ravages has suffered as the family of our highly respected townsman, T. A. ROSS. Beginning with the death of MRS. CORA MAE GRAHAM of Amarillo, whose obituary appeared in the Tulia Herald of Nov. 22, 1918, it did not cease to do its deadly work until five of the family had fallen victims to its command. The next that fell in the struggle for continued earthly existence was MISS RUBY ROSS, who was born in Fannin county, Texas July 13, 1897, and died Thursday morning, Nov. 21st, 1918 at the age of twenty-one years. She was converted at the age of ten years, gave herself to the Methodist church in a most beautifully consecrated Christian life, and lived such a life to the day of her death. During her illness she was carefully cared for by her schoolmate chum, Miss Louise Porter. In this service you could see most clearly the strong ties that spring up between young days at school. Such untiring devotion to friendship ways is rarely seen. Not a thing was omitted that love could suggest. Miss Louise, tired and worn, continued her ministrations of love and friendship till the fatal moment came, and even then pursued them till the body was prepared for burial, and had to succumb to the demands of exhausted nature for some rest. 
	Miss Ruby had developed into most beautiful womanhood, was a most dutiful child, popular with all that knew her, and a most exemplary Christian. She died as only the faithful can die. Her soul rests in peace amid the joys of her home above.
	On Sunday morning, the Lord's day, wherein He has commanded all men to rest, a fitting emblem of the day of eternal rest, sister Ross passed from her earthly to her everlasting day of rest. She had been to Amarillo to attend her daughter, Mrs. Graham, and returned suffering with the "flu" which she had contracted while there. She had suffered much, but bore it like a heroine of the Cross. With the advancement of the disease, pneumonia developed and on Sunday morning overcame. Bright and early she went home to be with her children and with her blessed Savior, whom she had served so long and faithfully. 
	Sister Ross was born in Dallas county, Arkansas, June 30, 1871, and died Nov. 24th, 1918, at the age of forty-seven years, four months and twenty-four days. She was converted at the tender age of thirteen years in Clark county, Arkansas, and united with the Methodist church, South, of which she was a devout and consistent member to the day of her death. She was an obedient child, a faithful wife, a loving mother, a kind neighbor, a strong friend, and a most conscientious Christian till death claimed her for a citizen of the skies. She has gone but her loved ones know where to find her. Her father remarked when she left them, "There lies the best friend I had on earth." Though growing old with years, he bore his grief like a man of God, and said "all is well." I never saw greater devotion than was shown by the husband, with whom she had lived through all the years of their married life. He was with her at all hours, administering to her necessities without a moment of hesitation. It appeared to me that I never saw more tender care displayed by any one. Nor did I ever look on more submission to the providences of God than was exhibited by her father and husband. They were sure that God does all things well in His dealings with us. May the great head of the church make His grace sufficient for their day of bereavement and sorrow.
	On the same day, in the afternoon, death called for ROY ROSS, who was born in Clark county, Arkansas, June 6th, 1889, at the age of twenty-nine years, five months and eighteen days, leaving a wife and one little girl, grandfather, father, three brothers, two sisters, and a host of loved ones and friends to mourn their loss. His father informs me that he never made a profession of religion. I am told by those who knew him well that his life was above reproach morally. He was much loved by his associates and stood well in all the relations of life. He had developed into a fine businessman and was joined with his father in a splendid grocery business. We, who look only upon the external, cannot always tell what is going on in the heart of our fellow being. The Book reveals the fact that in the time of the Savior there were those who were followers of Jesus who did, secretly, that is without the knowledge of men. May there not be that kind today! Roy was quite sick from the time that the "flu" made its attack upon him, and continued to grow worse till death relieved him of his suffering. He and his precious mother were buried at the same time.
	The last one of this sorely afflicted family to go was TOM ROSS. He was born October 10th, 1899, in Swisher county, Texas, at the age of nineteen years, one month and seventeen days. He had been married only a short time to Miss Lena Reeves. He professed religion at the age of fourteen and united with the Missionary Baptist church. He was a faithful and devout and consistent member of his church. Like Roy, his brother who died the Sunday before, he leaves many loved ones to grieve because of their loss. He was very popular with the young people, and wielded a fine influence for the kingdom of his Savior. We shall meet him by and by in our Father's home to part no more.
	One of the said things about the funerals was that they had to be held at the grave yard, where none of the loved ones could go save one or two occasionally, because of sickness in the home, and added to that, the round was covered with snow during the entire eight	days. Only a few could venture out. It was surely hours of grief and sadness. To bear the dead body of a member of the family away to be buried, and not a member of the family could go to witness the last sad sight, was a scene hard even for the few that attended to endure. This
	preacher earnestly prays that God will not call him to undergo such a burden again. What would we do under such circumstances were it not for the religion of the Christ? Not a ray of relief could there be were it not forJesus. Our hearts should go out to Him in perfect fervor of adoration and love. Upon the bereaved we pray Heaven's choicest grace and mercy. May the Lord guide
them safely through the remainder of their sojourn here and land them all with their loved ones in the haven of eternal calm and rest.	G. S. WYATT
