• Notes

  SUDDEN DEATH Mr. Geo. Roos, one of the most respected residents of Preston, died rather suddenly, on Friday afternoon. Deceased had a very severe attack of pleurisy last winter and for weeks he was despaired of, but after a sharp struggle with death he rallied and to the joy of his family and friends, seemed to be in a fair way to complete recovery. This hope proved delusive, however and as before stated, Mr. Roos succumbed on Friday last. He was well known and highly esteemed throughout this county and his death will be deeply regretted. He leaves a family of one son and two daughters, his wife having died some years ago. The Dumfries Reformer 6 Aug 1891 pg 1
