Roswell L. Ulland was born on Jan. 28, 1935, to Charles and Leone (Bunker) Ulland in Austin. He grew up in rural Austin and graduated from Austin High School in 1954. During his school years, he competed in the individual state wrestling tournament two years. Ross served in the U.S. Air Force, stationed in several locations including Greenland. On Aug. 25, 1961, he was united in marriage to Phyllis Skophammer at Central Freeborn Lutheran Church. The couple made their home in the Hollandale area where Ross worked as a mechanic for Ag Power (formerly Veldman Equipment) retiring in 2000 after 40 years.  Ross was a very creative person, remodeling most of his own house. He enjoyed tinkering in his shop and working on many special projects. He was a member of First Lutheran Church in Albert Lea and the American Legion. Ross dearly loved entertaining his three granddaughters by reading and playing outside with them. With his family, Ross grew vegetables and sold them at the Albert Lea farmer’s market for 29 years, Minneapolis farmers market for ten years and Austin and Mason City farmers markets for several years. His greatest pride was having his granddaughters help him sell at farmers markets, delighted by their ability to make change and wait on customers. He will be deeply missed.
Survivors include his wife, Phyllis; son, Joel and wife Trace Ulland; granddaughters Linnea, Sydney and Eleanor; sister, Lillian (Dan) Peterson of Ft. Worth, Texas; brothers Bruce (Sharon) Ulland of Austin, Lee (Doris) Ulland of Burlington, Wis. and Arnold (Nancy) Ulland of Spring Branch, Texas; and brother and sister-in-law Duane and Carmen Skophammer of Albert Lea.
Ross was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Leone Ulland; son, Greg in 1990, brother, Jerome Ulland; and mother and father-in-law, Thomas and Inanda Skophammer.
