Excerpt from The Life and Times of Senator James Ross: A Sketch The meeting this evening of the Washington County Historical society, organized on January 1, 1901, is for the ninth anniversary of its first public meeting, held on February 22, 1901, the birthday of George Washington, the first president of the United States, a day to which we always do honor. Our exercise tonight will be the reading by one of our members of a sketch of the Life and Times of Senator James Ross, one of the earliest members of the Washington County Bar, and in his matured years one of the leading statesmen of our State and Nation. His history is almost wholly unknown to the men of this generation, no detailed biography of him having ever been published, and it surely is well that our society should make a record of the personality and work of one who was a citizen of our town in the earliest days of its life.
