AMBROSE PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN OF NEVADA PASSED AWAY TUESDAY EVENING W. O. Ambrose, 58, retired merchant of this city, died at Iowa Sanitarium Tuesday afternoon at 5:15, the cause of death being encephalitis lethargics, of "sleeping sickness", from which he had been a sufferer for over eight weeks, during which time he lay in an apparent deep slumber and entirely unconscious to all surroundings. The funeral services will be held at the Methodist church Friday morning at 10 o'clock, all details of which have not been arranged. Interment will be in the Nevada cemetery. Members of the family have been arriving and the final one to come will be the sister, Mrs. Eva Ambrose-Adams of Boise City, Idaho, who is expected Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Wettmore, the latter the daughter Pauline of Chicago, arrived this morning, while other relative have been here fro some days, among them being Mr. and Mrs. John W. Neasham of Ottumwa, Dr. William Hansell of Ottumwa and other relatives from a distance. Mr. Ambrose had lived in Nevada for about forty years, and previous to that time had lived in Colo, and was well known in all parts of the county. He leaves besides his wife and three daughters, his aged mother, two brothers and two sisters. The daughters are Mrs. Horace Wettmore of Chicago, Mrs. Joseph Bricker of Nevada and Miss Mary Ambrose at home. The mother is Mrs. J. W. Ambrose of Eighth street, the brothers are Harry G. Ambrose and B. Frank Ambrose,, both of this city, and the sisters are Mrs. F. J. Neasham of Nevada and Mrs. Eva Ambrose of Boise City, Idaho. These besides other relatives will all be here for the services. The case of Mr. Ambrose was not only a peculiar one, so far as his condition and the cause of death in concerned, but a particularly sad one, taking as it did a young man in the very prime of life and one who had always been active in the commercial and civic life of the community where he had lived practically his entire life. Mr. Ambrose had been a member of Samson lodge No. 77, Knights of Pythias for a third of a century and had always been active in the affairs of the lodge with which he affiliated in 1893. He had also been a longtime member of the First Methodist church of this city. In his death the third prominent business man of the city has been taken within a few weeks, starting with the very sudden death of U. S. Alderman on May 14, followed by the death of Ansel Freeland on June 24.
