F.C. Ross/ Mr. Furr


This picture of Frank C. Ross was taken in 1891, the same year he sold the Tacoma and Lake City Railroad to the Union Pacific Railroad for $153,000. When Ross celebrated his 80th birthday, March 3, 1938, he was still championing development of the tideflats, which he had proposed 50 years before.

This picture and small caption was the inspiration for this piece titled Mr. Furr.
