age, he was a man OF remarkable Vi
tality and was not compelled to take
to his bed until short time before
his death. For several days before
his demise, "Uncle Joe," as he was
familiarly known to his numerous
friends. was unable to take food Of
any kind, and he gradually sank I'M
til death relieved him of his suffer-
ings. He passed away in peaceful
repose while friends, who had known
for some time that the end was near,
watched over him. The last time
that ''Uncle Joe'' was down town
was on village election day, and then
he persisted in casting his ballot,
and his wish was gratified by his
friends, who accompanied and as
sisted him to the polls. In conse-
quence of i'll health Mr.. Ross with
drew his candidacy for the county
attorneyship at the last election, but
he could doubtless have been elected
to that office as long as he lived, for
he was faithful servant of the peo-
pie and always performed the duties
of his office satisfactorily. There
was not man in Mile Laos county
who could defeat our old friend at
the polls. /
Funeral services will be conducted
next Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
in the Congregational church by
Rev. J. O. Fisher and the interment
will be at Oak Knoll The local
lodge of Masons, of which Mr.. Ross
was a member, will have charge of
the obsequies and the ritualistic
services of the order will be per-
formed at the grave.
Joseph A. Ross was born at Jeffer-
son, Maine, September q, 1929. He
was graduated from Waterville COL
lege in that state in 1856. He served
in a Maine regiment during the
war of the rebellion and for his SOL
dierly qualities and meritorious con
duct was promoted to lieutenancy.
After the close of the war he taught
school in his native state for num-
Der of years and came to Minnesota
in 1869. For a time he farmed in
the town of Baldwin and followed his
vocation as teacher. In 1876 he
was admitted to the bar and the
same year located in Princeton and
was elected county attorney of Mile
Laos county. Mr.. Ross performed
the duties devolving upon him in
such a satisfactory manner that he
was reelected in 1878, and served
until January, 1881. In 1890 he was
again elected county attorney and
held the office until compelled by ill
health to tender his resignation.
Upon many occasions, when a can
didate for the office of county, at
torney, Mr.. Ross had able opponents,
but SO we'll liked was he throughout
the county that he was continuously
elected. He is survived by one
