Joseph Carl Ross
1929 - 1996
updated February 06, 2019
Joseph Carl Ross, father to 5 children, was born on December 28, 1929 in Chester, Pennsylvania. He was born to Joseph Carl Espinosa and Pauline E. (Yost) Espinosa, with siblings Shirley and Carmen. He married Alberta Chambers. Joseph also married Delores Shull, and they gave birth to Randy Ross and Crystal Ross. He married Shirley Abrams, and they gave birth to Shawnda R. Ross, Colin Michael Ross, and Casey Ross. He died on April 2, 1996 in Kalispell, Montana at 66 years of age.
After his mother's second marriage to Jeff Bob Ross, Joseph changed his last name to his stepfather's last name, Ross. He was born Joseph Carl Espinosa Jr. The attached 1930 Census incorrectly listed family surname as Espinoza with a z. He married my mother, Alberta Louise Chambers on June 13, 1948. My mother was fifteen and a half and Joe was eighteen and a half when they were married. I was born when my mother was only seventeen. They were married for two and a half years. I was ten months old when they were officially divorced.
The last time my father visited me was in 1952. My mother said he brought his new wife with him for the visit at my mother's home. My mother said his new wife was very nice and was pregnant. She said Joe was hoping for a boy this time.
I had regular visits with my paternal grandmother Pauline who was married to Stan DeLeary at the time. They were very kind. I remember thinking that Stan was tall and handsome. My mother and stepfather moved to California when I was five years old. My mother did not tell Pauline that we had moved. My mother asked her mother, Madelyn Chambers to go to where Pauline worked to tell Pauline that my mother did not have time to contact her before we moved. Pauline was very angry and told my grandmother Madelyn that she would never have anything to do with me in the future. I never saw or heard from grandmother Pauline again. I never saw or heard from my father again.
Joseph died of lung cancer.

Joseph Carl Ross was born Joseph Carl Espinoza Jr. on December 28, 1929 in Chester, Pennsylvania to Joseph Carl Espinosa (born 1905) an immigrant from Argentina and Pauline E.Yost, born in 1909 in Pennsylvania, the daughter of German immigrant, Charles Arthur Yost (1875-1927) and Louisa Anna Yost (born 1885). Pauline had a sister named Carolina born in 1903 and a brother, Karl born in 1905. In the 1910 and 1920 census the Yosts lived in Pittsburgh Ward 17, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Pauline told my mother that her marriage to Joseph Espinosa was arranged by the two families. Besides my father, Joseph and Pauline had two other children, Shirley M. Espinoza born in 1927, Carmen Espinoza, who was less than a year older than Joseph Jr. I do not know when they divorced. By 1940 (according to the 1940 Census) Pauline was married to Jeff Bob Ross and they lived in Bexar County, Texas. Joe and Shirley changed their last names to Ross. Pauline and Jeff Ross had a son together, Gerald Warren Ross, born 12/10/1934 in Bexar County, Texas in 1934 and passed away in 1996. There is no further mention of Joe’s sister Carmen after the 1930 Census in Pennsylvania. Pauline died in 1981 in Apache Junction, Pinal, Arizona. Her husband Stanley DeLeary passed away in 1991.
On November 4, 1952, Joe married Delores Carlotta Oliver Shull in Rosebud, Mt. I do not know anything about his life after that except that my mother said that Joe and Carlotta had a child together. They both came to visit me at the home where I was living with my mother and her second husband. My mother said that Joe’s wife was pregnant and Joe was hoping for a boy this time.
I have always wanted to meet my half siblings. I hope that someone reading this post will contact me and tell me about my father's life after he left Arizona in 1952.
