Obituary, Circleville Herald, 10 Feb 1881, Mary A. Powell Sutphin, transcr.:
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 Farirfax 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 Republinan 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, religous, politiacal 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.

His widow, Matilda, applied for her pension 5 Mar 1881.
