Served North End – 1957-1960
Ross was born in 1910 in Charleston, WV. He was baptized at age 24
and preached his first sermon at the Dunbar Church of Christ. He mar
ried Verla two years later. He then went on to graduate from Freed
Hardeman College. Before coming to North End, he was the located
preacher in South Charleston, Hamlin, St. Albans, Camden Ave., and
Grand Central. He helped establish the Ravenswood congregation. He
came back for meetings in the 60’s and 70’s. One meeting had 22 re
sponses. He later preached in Missouri and Louisiana, finally retiring in
Florida. He passed away in 1991. Ross was an encourager and a faith
ful person. (I remember Ross, who baptized me, liked to joke that he
disagreed with the apostle Paul who said not to associate with the
greedy, idolaters, slanders, drunkards or a SWINDLER.)
