MRS. JOHN B. ROSS
Death Last Night a Member of One of Madison's Prominent Families
Frances Bachman, beloved wife of John B. Ross, died at the family home on East street on Monday, June 16th, at 6:35 P.M. after a brief illness of pneumonia.
Frances Bachman Ross was born July 17, 1836, the daughter of Alois and Emily Thiebauld Bachman, well known early citizens of Madison, one of a large family that has played an important part in the life of the community. Her one brother, Alois Bachman, Colonel of the 19th Indiana Volunteers, who died on the field of Antietam, will live forever in the memory of the people of this State as the personification of youth and gallantry. Of six sisters, Mrs. Louis Holstein, Mrs. Neal, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. McKinney, Mrs. Watts Vawter, Miss Bachman of Indianapolis, alone remains.
Frances Bachman and John B. Ross were married November 1, 1859. Of their seven children-Elizabeth, John, Walter, Frances, Isom, Taylor and Louis, but three survive their mother--Elizabeth, wife of the late George Trow, Frances and Taylor. Mrs. Ross was all her life a faithful and consistent member of the Second Presbyterian church of Madison. Devoted to her home and family, she had for her friends an ever-ready sympathy and for all suffering and sorrow a quick compassion.
The family, in its loss, has the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
The funeral services will be held at her late home on East street on Wednesday, June 18, at 5 p.m.
"Might we but hear
The hovering angels high imagined chorus,
Of catch, betimes, with wakeful eyes and clear,
The radiant vista of the realms before us--
With one rapt moment given to see and hear,
Ah, who would fear?"
