General Notes: Husband - Philip Gross


His educational opportunities in youth were limited to the schools of Middleburg, Snyder County, Pennsylvania. He always resided on the old homestead, following agriculture as an occupation, and at times did considerable business as an administrator and executor in the settlement of estates. He was a robust man, well-proportioned, and was seldom ill. Throughout his life he took keen interest in military affairs, and only his ineligibility on account of age prevented him from serving in the Civil war. He filled every office in the home militia from private to general, and was the last to serve in that rank under the old regime in the brigade of Union and Northumberland counties. He was a stanch Democrat, as was his father before him, and he held a number of offices, serving one term as county treasurer before the separation from Union County, when the county seat was at New Berlin. For more than forty consecutive years he served as justice of the peace. In religious faith he was a Lutheran, and for many years held the office of trustee in the church.
His remains rested beside those of his wife in the cemetery at the old homestead.
