Chapter 21 Lucille & Joe Gross
Joe was born on March 25, 1906, on Wallis Avenue in Farrell. When he was about nine years old, a severe infection spread from a tooth into his jaw. The doctors told his mother that if he didn’t have surgery immediately, he could die. His family didn’t have any transportation, so his mother balked at the idea of walking to Buhl Hospital.
