Of interest, Gladys divorced him in Jan 1914; took him to court for failure to pay alimony in June 1915.
There's a Fred Losson Ross floating around out there; cannot conclusively verify that it's the same guy, but it looks pretty suspicious. [2] Transcript follows:
Press Democrat, Volume 51, Number 208, 28 August 1925 In San Francisco, August 26, 1925, Fred Losson Ross, dearly beloved husband of Belle Ross, loving father of William D and Robert Beverly Ross, son of William D Ross and Mrs. H M Ross, loving brother of Mrs. W A Close of Santa Rosa and Sydney Ross of Graton. A native of California, aged 47 years, 6 months and 11 days. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend the funeral Friday, August 28 at 2 PM from the chapel at Welti Bros Christian Science services. Interment I O O F Lawn cemetery .
I O O F Lawn cemetery is Odd Fellows Lawn in Sacramento. Findagrave has no record of a Fred Ross buried in that cemetery.
According to Intelius, there is a Robert Beverly Ross, age 62, living in Mandeville, LA.
Familysearch has a 1987 obituary for a Robert Beverly Ross, age 68 (and thus born around 1919), native of Los Angeles but had moved to Stockton and died there. One listed survivor is William Ross of Santa Rosa; another is a son, Michael Robert. Perhaps the Louisiana Robert Beverly Ross is unrelated.
An obituary for a Cora Ross in 1962 (in the Press Democrat) listed her surviving husband, Robert B Ross, and her funeral service was Christian Science (same as Fred Losson Ross). However... her Findagrave memorial links to that of her husband Robert Byron Ross with his father listed as John David Ross (1837-1898). [3] If true, this is the wrong Robert B Ross.
