Rev. George L. Ambers, b. @ 1846, d. Mar. 8, 1894
Passed over the River
Died--At his residence, two miles from Earlington on Thursday afternoon, 8th inst., at one o'clock, Rev. Geo. L. AMBERS, in the forty-eighth year of his age. Mr. AMBERS was well-known in and about Earlington, being an employe of the St. Bernard Coal Company, and a local preacher, and a member of the M.E. Church in this city. He was a zealous worker in the cause of the Master, a very sympathetic man, one who rarely ever spoke in public that tears did not stain his cheeks, so great was his emotional nature wrought upon. He was a man that had his friends as well as his opposers, but always seemed to do his best wherever an opportunity was offered. When not attending the services of his own church or some house of worship in the city, he was almost sure to be engaged in proclaiming the word on the Sabbath day in some of the neighboring towns. Norwithstanding his physical weakness and the great disadvantage he labored under, he was a faithful man. When called upon to face the grim monster, all was peaceful, though he suffered intensely during his brief illness of eleven days, but living with that dread disease, pneumonia fever.
A wife and two step-children are left to mourn his demise, and his remains were laid to rest in the Earlington cemetery, on Friday, at twelve o'clock.
Rev. T.C. PETERS will preach the funeral on the 4th Sunday in May.
In the language of the prophet of old: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my last end be like his." (Source: Earlington (Ky.)
