(Clipping from the Brunswick Citizen)
Judge Gross was quite a character. I think this was around the time the Citizen had incorrectly announced that he was either dead or dying. There was an article on him the next week with a picture showing him very much alive and quoting Mark Twain with the words "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Always heard Willie Gross would recite poetry at the drop of a hat, including Rev Luther Martin's poem "Going Back to Brunswick". He once told me he was born on Easter Sunday 1902 and his mother thought he'd be a preacher "but he'd never heard the call.".. ....Peter
