Jane Ross
Jane Ross (December 23, 1920 – July 9, 1999) was a prominent American businesswoman and philanthropist from Clark County, Arkansas.
==Early life, World War II service==
Ross was born in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, the daughter of Hugh Thomas Ross and Esther Clark Ross. She graduated from Henderson State University in 1942. She served as a US Navy photographer for a time in 1943, stationed in Washington DC, and then joined the Women's Army Corps, in which she would serve for the remainder of World War II. For her service during the war, she would receive the Good Conduct Medal, American Theater Medal, and the Victory Medal. Following the war, she would study photography at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Ross returned to Arkadelphia, and opened a photography studio, "Photos by Ross". She owned and operated this studio from 1948 through 1955, but was forced to close the studio to concentrate on the family business following the death of her father, who had previously managed the family business. Her grandfather, J. G. Clark, had amassed a fortune in the timber business in South Arkansas, beginning in the late 1880s. After the death of her father in 1955, Ross became chairwoman of her family's timber industry business, and was heiress to that fortune.
