Event Notes Note (1) 1900 Census; Crawford County, Georgia; June 20, 1900, District: 573 (Roberta), Page 221a, # 336/336: Note (2) The Macon Telegraph; Thursday, March 16, 1972: Note (3) -Mrs. Ida M. Ross, 89, of 845 Lynmore Ave., died in a local hospital Tuesday night after a brief illness. Funeral services will be held at the graveside in Oak Lawn Cemetery in Ft. Valley at 2 p.m. Thursday. Note (4) Cemetery marker has DOB of 1883. Information from Lois Ross-Robertson indicates the wrong date was known; but it was never corrected. At the time, the country was still in the Depression Era, and basically on the eve of WWII. The family could not afford the correction, and thought it futile to ask for a correction.
