General Notes: Husband - John Seymour Ross


After acquiring a common school education, he attended the high schools of Meadville and Greenville, Pennsylvania. When eighteen years old, he commenced teaching during the winters, and worked on his father's farm the balance of the year. This he continued six years. In 1872, he moved onto a farm in LeBoeuf Township, but after three years removed to Mill Village, where he purchased the only hardware store. In 1882, he bought out the Mill Village Herald, which he then carried on successfully, largely increasing its subscription list. Mr. Ross, in politics, was a Democrat; he was School Director for six years, and also Burgess of the borough. He was a member of the Masonic Order, K. of H. and Royal Templars of Temperance Society.
