JOHN R. ROSS, farmer, breeder and shipper of high class poultry; P. O. Level; was born in Cozaddale Nov. 24, 1850. He is the son of P. W. and Sarah (Frybarger) Ross, both natives of this county, the former being born in the year 1812, and the latter in 1814. They are of German extraction, and known as |

enterprising and worthy citizens. This work would indeed be incomplete, did we not favorably mention and closely identify these parents with the interests of Warren County. The subject of this sketch received a common school education in the district schools of his neighborhood, and was reared upon the farm. He is of Democratic proclivities, and, although not seeking political honors, has held the office of Township Trustee for two consecutive years. He is a worthy member of the M. E. Church, and is held in high regard by his fellow citizens. April 3, 1871, he was united in marriage to Miss Maria Jones, a most worthy lady, a native of this county, and born Nov. 17, 1853. This union proved a happy one, and to them were born four children—Clayton B., July 6. 1873; Charlie, Dec. 18, 1875; Clyde W., Oct. 21, 1877; and Gertrude, June 13, 1880. Of the Jones family mention will be made elsewhere in this work. Mr. Ross resides upon the farm of his father-in-law, which consists of 169 acres of valuable land, and engages extensively in poultry trade, and has more rare varieties of fine birds than is often found in any one yard. Among the many choice selections may be found Dark Brahms, Golden Polish, brown and white Leghorn, Plymouth Rocks, Partridge Cochins, golden-laced Sobright, Bantams, Pekin Ducks and white China Geese. He furnishes these varieties at the lowest possible prices, and eggs at $1.50 per thirteen. Parties who are in need of fine fowls should give him a call, as he will guarantee satisfaction. Mr. Ross takes great pride in his chosen occcupation [sic], and deserves special mention and encouragement in his enterprise. |
