Biography

Birth1817John Ross was born in 1817.
MarriageHe and Sarah Deats were married, date unknown
Census-not found1860John has not been found on the census of 1860 Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, scrolled through the 1860 LMBT census (87 pages) and could not find this John the shoemaker and Sarah, or Joseph Jr. and Sarah.
Census1870He appeared in the census 1870 in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. John is listed as: Ross, John (age 53, Shoemaker, $3000 real estate, $500 personal)
Sarah (age 48, keeping house)
Peter (age 24, Works at Shoemaking)
Edgar (age 17, attends school)

It is possible this John is really Joseph, and the 1870 census has a mistaken given name.

Parents

FatherJohn Ross (b. 1817)

Biography

Birth1853Edgar Ross was born in 1853.
Death19 September 1925He died on 19 September 1925 at St. Lukes Hospital in Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, On his death certificate, he is listed as married. His parents are listed as Wm Ross and Sarah Deats. The informant is W. M. Weierbach, Bethlehem, PA, who was the undertaker. It says he is buried in Belvidere, N.J.

His occupation is given as Shoemaker.

Since John and Sarah had an Edgar about this age, and John was a shoemaker based on the 1870 census, I think he belongs in this family.

His obituary says his parents were Joseph and Sarah Ross, and it is possible that there was not a person John, but that the 1870 census should have said Joseph.
Obituary22 September 192522 September 1925, Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Morning Call Obituary:. Edgar Ross, of Belvidere, died Saturday at 11 a.m. in St. Luke's Hospital, Bethlehem, to which institution he was admitted five weeks ago, undergoing a serious operation on Friday and prior to that having had two other operations. He was seventy-two years of age and was born at Mt. Pleasant, Pa., a son of the late Joseph and Sarah Ross, and had been a resident of Belvidere for the past forty years, where he was engaged as a shoemaker. Mr. Ross is survived by his wife. He was a member of the Second Presbyterian church of Belvidere.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. from his late home on Market street, Belvidere. Rev. Henry E. Stammer, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, officiating. Interment in the Belvidere cemetery.
