Living on Second Ave in 1930(Census)

C. Ross Niday Dies on Wed.
     Dr. C. Ross Niday, one of Gallipolis most prominent professional and business men, died at his home last Wednesday morning. Dr. Niday who had been ill for a little over a year, made a game fight but finally lost to the grim Reaper.
     A man of broad interests and much energy, he had been one of the prominent figures in the city’s political, business, fraternal and social circles during his generation. He was known for his business sagacity, his charitableness, particularly to underprivileged school children, and as a generous husband and father.
     He was a veteran of the World War, having served as a Second Lieutenant for the 7th Provisional Company Veterinary Training School, Camp Lee, Va., for about two months near the close of the conflict, and had served a term as commander of Lafayette Post, American Legion during the flood year of 1937.
Born on a farm in Harrison township, he early manifested traits of industry and thrift. One of his first enterprises was as a traveling salesman for a wholesale shoe house. And later he entered business here before entering a school of veterinary medicine in Cincinnati.
Bank Director
     For a year or more before his death, or about the time the late S. H. Eagle retired from the Ohio Valley Bank, Dr. Niday became a director of that institution. He was also a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal church and of Naomi Lodge, Knights of Pythias and of Gallipolis Lodge of Elks.
     Charles Ross Niday was born August 19, 1874, the only son of C. J. and Mariah Northup Niday. He married Maude E. Canaday, daughter of James C. and Elizabeth J. Canaday on February 6, 1896 and to them was born one son, Verne, who with the widow and three grandchildren are the only survivors of the immediate family. He was the first cousin of Victor J. Niday of this city and of Chauncey G. Niday of Columbus.
     Funeral services are to be conducted on Thursday at 2 p.m. in the Entsminger Funeral chapel by Rev. Robert Leake, a former Episcopalian rector here, and burial will follow in Pine Street cemetery.
