Obituary / Additional Information: OBITUARY George W. AMBROSE of Darbyville, passed away to the shadowy land beyond the tomb, Tuesday Evening, Feb. 1, at 6:30 o'clock p.m. his death was not unexpected, for he had been lingering for a long time. consumption fed upon his system until vitality was gone and poor George laid down his burden without a murmur. He was born in Fairfax County VA., Dec. 4, 1822 and died Feb. 1, 1881, making him 58 years, 1 month, and 27 days. He was twice married and was the father of 11 children of whom eight remain to mourn his loss. He was a carpenter by trade and did considerable work in his earlier days. He served for three years with some distinction in Co. A, 45TH O.V.I. He was a good soldier and always ready for duty. He contacted a disease while in the service that always troubled him and was partly the cause of his death. In politics, George was a staunch Republican and was ever ready to do anything honorable to promote the interests of the party. He was a man well read and able to talk upon any subject of importance. In history he had but few equals, and but few men dared ever to dispute his word. He had a memory he trust and relying upon this he made a bold and adventurous debater. He was a man who did his own thinking, religious, political and otherwise, and though not a member of any church, was a believer in the bible and in the Savior of the world. Peace to his ashes, Rev. KEMPER preached the funeral at the church. Burial in Darbyville Cemetery.

He reached Ashville, August 3rd at 8:15 a.m., very weak and hardly able to walk. He found his way to the home of William Ward and desired to be taken to his mother, but was to weak to attempt the drive. His mother was staying with her daughter, Mrs. J.W. HOY of Madison township. Arrangements were made to go the next morning, but ere that morn had dawned death laid his iron grasp upon his victim; and thus the first news of his arrival to both his mother and sisters was their summons to see him a lifeless form.

He was in the Sherman's memorable march to the sea. At the burning of Atlanta he was called and powder explosion, his hands and arms being badly burned. As a member of the G. A.

Obituary / Additional Information: The Mt. Sterling Tribune has the following account of the death of Osman Crabb on the 13 inst.: The many friends in this community of Uncle Osman Crabb, were greatly surprised and pained to hear the report Sunday that he had suddenly fell dead on the porch at his home just after he had eaten a hearty breakfast that morning. He was an old man and a much respected citizen of this and adjoining counties. He was in Sterling Saturday, the day before his death, feeling unusually well and in apparent good spirits. He was aged about 74 yers and leaves a widow and several children, among whom are Thomas Crabb, merchant, of this place and Frank with whom the old folks made their home. For several years he has failed in health and has at times complained of feeling smothered and a choking sensation signifying heart trouble, the direct cause of his death, undoubtedly. He was a consistent member of the M.E. Church, and formerly was a faithful attendant. While it is painful and sad that he was taken without any warning, yet no one was better prepared, and had their work more completed than Uncle Osman. The widow, children and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their affliction. His funeral was preached at his late residence on Monday last and the body interred in Pleasant cemetery.
